Special Needs:
Special Note: The forest stay extremely humid despite periods, of up to several months without rain.
However, heavy dew is common and this dew can appear as rain.
The dew collects and falls from foliage high up in the forest, which can form quite large drops and fall for extended periods of time.
It should also be noted that the clouds commonly appear very low as they sweep through the forests, making everything damp and raising the ambient humidity.
