The Congo Basin rainforest is the second largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon rainforest. It spans multiple countries in Central Africa and is known for its rich biodiversity and large carbon storage capacity.
The name of the rainforest that grows in the Congo basin is the Congo rainforest. Six countries are in parts of the forest. They are the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, the Republic of Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
HINT! Its a rain forest, is there ever snow in a rainforest? Answer that, and you've got your answer.

[1] The world's largest rain forest is the Amazon Basin. [2] Most sources identify the second largest as the Congo Basin rain forest. A minority opinion gives the title to the Daintree rain forest of Australia. But the sizes of the Amazon, Congo and Papua New Guinea rain forests run in the millions. And the figures for Daintree are in the thousands. So Daintree's claim to fame may be as Australia's largest rain forest, and as the world's oldest at 135 million years. [3] The third largest is uniformly being identified as Papua New Guinea's Gulf Province rain forest.
There are two countries contained "Congo" on their names in Africa:Democratic Republic of the Congo, or Congo-KinshasaRepublic of the Congo, or Congo-BrazzavilleThe answer below is valid for Democratic Republic of the Congo, (the largest)As a result of its equatorial location, the Congo experiences high precipitation and has the highest frequency of thunderstorms in the world. The annual rainfall can total upwards of 2,000 millimetres (80 in) in some places, and the area sustains the Congo Rainforest, the second largest rain forest in the world (after the Amazon)
