The majority of the Northwestern Coniferous Forest is found in the temperate climate zone.  Because of this biome's climate zone, abundant amounts of rainfall, and lush vegetation, this biome is also known as a temperate rainforest.  Temperatures can get very cold in the winter, and fairly warm in the summer. Average yearly temperatures range from 14° F, to 60°F.  Moist oxygen coming from the Pacific ocean provides large amounts of rainfall to the Northwestern Coniferous Forest.  The majority of this biome's precipitation comes in the spring, fall, and winter.  Yearly, this biome receives up to 150 millimeters of precipitation.
