The definition of "desert" is "a region that receives less than 250 mm of precipitation per year."
That 250 mm can come in one big cloudburst once a year, or a very light sprinkle every day, so technically it's impossible to answer a frequency question like "how often" with a solid number, but common sense suggests that "not very" is a pretty reasonable answer.
