Grasslands are extremely hot during the summer months and very cold during the winter months. The grasslands receive anywhere from 10-30 inches of rain per year.

This table compares rainfall in the grasslands to other biomes.

Sometimes the summers are so hot that the grass catches on fire very easily. Fires are very often seen during these hot summer months. These fires are dangerous because they spread through the dry grass very quickly.

During the winter, on some grasslands, the snow might be so high that it comes up over your head. WOW! That is a lot of snow!
