I am now half asleep 01:30am so correct me if I am wrong:
You state average rainforest rainfall is 103.15inches
but rainforest rainfall ranges between 160-400 inches
i.e. the average rainfall is smaller than the lowest typical rainfall?
You have 2 links, the first did not work for me, the second states 60-160inches per year
