The climate is generally mild, but periods of extreme hot and cold can affect parts of the state. Precipitation (meteorology) in the state varies widely: the deserts of eastern Oregon, such as the Alvord Desert (in the rain shadow of Steens Mountain), get as little as 200 mm (8 inches) annually, while some western coastal slopes approach 5000 mm (200 inches) annually. Oregon's population centers, which lie mostly in the western part of the state, are generally moist and mild, while the lightly populated High Desert (Oregon) deserts of Central and Eastern Oregon are much drier.
