A rainforest is not defined exclusively by the amount of rain it gets. There are other factors (average temperature, layers of overgrowth) that are characteristic of rainforests, either tropical or temperate. However, the general range for the classification is more than about 1750 to 2000 mm (68-78 inches) of annual rainfall.
