Location and climate
- Temperate rainforests are found along some coasts in temperate zones.
- The largest temperate rainforests are found on the Pacific coast of North America.
- Smaller temperate rainforests can be found on the southeast coast of Chile in South America
- Temperate rainforests have two distinct seasons.
- One is long and wet, and the other is a short, dry and foggy summer.
- During the long wet season the temperature rarely drops below freezing (0°C and 32°F) and during the short, dry, foggy season the temperature rarely goes above 27°C and 80°F, this tells us why this biome is called a temperate rainforest.
