In order to be defined as a rainforest, the forest must average at least 140 cm (55 in) of precipitation annually and a temperate rainforest as opposed to a tropical rainforest is defined by a mean annual temperature between 4 and 12 degrees Celsius (39 and 54 degrees Fahrenheit).
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.

The Pacific temperate rain forests are characterized by a high amount of rainfall, in some areas more than 300 cm (10 ft) per year and moderate temperatures in both the summer and winter months (10–24 °C or 50–75 °F). This ecoregion is a subregion of the Cascadia bioregion.
Global distribution of the temperate deciduous forest biome. Located below the northern boreal forests, [6] temperate deciduous forests make up a significant portion of the land between the Tropic of Cancer (23 °N) and latitudes of 50° North, in addition to areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn (23 °S).

The climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. [10] A steppe is a dry grassland. [11] Subarctic climates are cold with continuous permafrost and little precipitation. [12] The tropical zones have the highest number of storm events followed by the temperate climate.
