Humid temperate rainforest in Termas Geométricas near Coñaripe, Chile. For temperate rainforests of North America, Alaback's definition [1] is widely recognized: [2] Annual precipitation over 140 cm (55 in) (KJ) Mean annual temperature is between 4 and 12 °C (39 and 54 °F).
The climate of a temperate forest is highly variable depending on the location of the forest. For example, Los Angeles and Vancouver, Canada are both considered to be located in a temperate zone, however, Vancouver is located in a temperate rainforest, while Los Angeles is a relatively dry tropical climate.

It has annual precipitation above 140 centimetres (55 in), a cool summer, typical transient snow in winter, mean annual temperature near 7 °C (45 °F), and summer rainfall is above 10% of overall precipitation, classifying it as a perhumid temperate rainforest. [1] [2] Annual precipitation varies significantly within the mountainous terrain ...
Rain forests are characterized by high rainfall, with definitions setting minimum normal annual rainfall between 1,750 millimetres (69 in) and 2,000 millimetres (79 in). [5] A tropical savanna is a grassland biome located in semi-arid to semi- humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes, with rainfall between 750 millimetres (30 ...
A Köppen–Geiger climate map showing temperate climates for 1991–2020 The different geographical zones of the world. The temperate zones, in the sense of geographical regions defined by latitude, span from either north or south of the subtropics (north or south of the orange dotted lines, at 35 degrees north or south) to the polar circles.
Cwb = Subtropical highland climate or Monsoon-influenced temperate oceanic climate; coldest month averaging above 0 °C (32 °F) (or −3 °C (26.6 °F)), all months with average temperatures below 22 °C (71.6 °F), and at least four months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F). At least ten times as much rain in the wettest month of summer as in ...
[citation needed] The rainforest receives an average of 140 inches (360 cm) of annual precipitation—among the rainiest places in the United States. [1] [2] The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers and is the ancestral home of the Hoh people. Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial ...
The mean annual precipitation of the area ranges from 720–1,200 millimetres (28–47 in) and the mean annual temperature generally varies between 4–10 °C. [1] In this area, human activity includes fruit and dairy agriculture, major urban areas, and some forestry and tourism attractions.
