Solar radiation is at its strongest at the equator. Since the equator is covered by water, a large amount evaporates. The air heats it, so it becomes less dense then rises. As the air rises, it cools off and the water then condenses to form rain.

In the rainforest, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of air masses. During the day, sunlight warms the air near the surface, causing it to rise and creating upward air currents. As the warm, moist air rises, it cools and releases moisture, which contributes to the high humidity levels in the rainforest. This convection process plays a key role in maintaining the rainforest ecosystem by regulating temperatures and moisture levels.

Rain is warm anytime / anyplace where the humidity in the air is close to water saturation. It gets colder via evaporation through air that has room for more moisture. So "yes", usually it is warm.

The type of rainfall experienced in the rainforests is called convectional rainfall. In this type of rainfall, the sun heats up the earth that leads in the warm rising of air which later condenses on the cooler parts of the atmospheres to form clouds.
