The term 'rainforest' does not mean a forest with significant rain. While rainforests are often in wetter areas, this is by no means always the case. Cool temperate rainforests exist, along with tropical rainforests.
The term refers to the fact that conditions are certainly more moist within a rainforest, due to the ecological balance of the soil, creeks and vegetation. It is possible for some rainforests to receive rain daily; it is possible for some rainforests to receive rain weekly or even less, but certainly more often during the region's wet season.
