Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Humidity affects the tropical rainforest biome as it increases the rate of decomposition and enriches the soil with the nutrients used by the trees and leached by the high amount of rainfall. The high humidity level results from high temperatures and high precipitation rates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mean temperatures in tropical rainforest regions are between 20 and 29 °C (68 and 84 °F), and in no month is the mean temperature below 18 °C (64 °F). Temperatures become critical with increasing altitude; in the wet tropics temperatures fall by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) for every 100 metres (328 feet) climbed.
