Rainfall: rainforests receive at least 80 inches (200 cm) of rain per year. Canopy: rainforests have a canopy, which is the layer of branches and leaves formed by closely spaced rainforest trees some 30 meters (100 feet) off the ground. A large proportion of the plants and animals in th...
Climate and Temperature The climate of the rainforest is hot, humid, and rainy. Also due to constant rain fall it’s wet. The temperature almost never changes. Most likely it will be around 70-80 degrees. Precipitation It rains a lot in the rainforest. The average amount of rain fall i...
As refugia are thought to have led to speciation in isolation, refuge locations embedded in the current rainforest distribution have been proposed based on high species richness or endemism, especially in recently radiated or poorly dispersing groups (Sosef, 1994; Droissart, 2009). A review of ...

Sarawak experiences a tropical rainforest climate characterised by uniform temperature, high humidity and intense rainfall, and is influenced by two monsoon periods: the wetter north-east monsoon (November–March) and the relatively drier south-west monsoon (May–September). Climate change is impacting...
