The highest amounts of precipitation occur in the Southeast and Northwest regions of North America. The Southwest region tends to be drier due to it being a desert environment, and while the Midwest does receive precipitation, it is not as high as the Southeast and Northwest. The lowest amounts of precipitation are not necessarily received near Hudson's Bay, as areas such as the deserts in the Southwest receive even less precipitation.
