Yes, and no. Looking at the records, you will find that the average yearly precipitation is 35mm in that region. This, however is an estimate because in the 400 years that records have been kept there has not been a single instance of measurable precipitation. The figure of 35mm comes from trace amounts of moisture in the air during 'morning dew' periods.
