The average annual temperature for temperate rainforests is about 0Â°C (32Â°F) because temperate rainforests are usually located close to the ocean, but for the warmer parts of the temperate rainforests the average annual temperature is around 20Â°C (68Â°F).
Tropical rainforests can be characterized in two words: hot and wet. Mean monthly temperatures exceed 18 Â°C (64 Â°F) during all months of the year. Average annual rainfall is no less than 168 cm (66 in) and can exceed 1,000 cm (390 in) although it typically lies between 175 cm (69 in) and 200 cm (79 in). Lowland equatorial evergreen rain forests are forests which receive high rainfall (more than 2000 mm, or 80 inches, annually) throughout the year. 2  These forests occur in a belt around the equator, with the largest areas in the Amazon basin of South America, the Congo Basin of Central Africa, Indonesia, and New Guinea.
