False.

Temperate and tropical rainforests differ in both amount and type of precipitation. Tropical rainforests are generally hotter and get very heavy, year‑round convective rainfall. Temperate rainforests (e.g., Pacific Northwest, Chile) tend to be cooler, often have seasonal rainfall patterns with more frontal/storm-driven rain, frequent fog and drizzle, and sometimes snow — and total annual totals can be lower or differently distributed than in the tropics.
