Ambient temperature has an effect on the tripping point of a breaker. If a breaker is operating at near capacity the additional ambient temperature will lower the breaker trip set point. As to humidity making the breaker trip easier, the answer is no. Humidity makes the ambient temperature seem hotter that the true temperature is. A standard operating temperature of breakers is from from -5 to 40 degrees C. If the breaker is used at higher temperatures than 40 degree C they have to be de rated, 50 degrees C to 90% and 60 degrees C to 70%. The standard humidity rating of a breaker is 85%. Humidity that is constantly higher than 85% will require a special tropical environment type of breaker that extends the humidity range up to 95%.
