Portland, Oregon, is not considered a rainforest because it does not meet the specific criteria for this classification, which typically include high levels of annual rainfall (over 2000 mm or about 79 inches) and a consistent, warm climate. While Portland experiences a significant amount of precipitation, averaging around 36 inches annually, it has a temperate climate with distinct seasons, including a dry summer. Additionally, true rainforests are characterized by dense, lush vegetation and specific ecological conditions that Portland's environment does not fully support.
