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%.
Circuit breakers are designed based on electrical load and capacity, not weather conditions. Humidity alone should not cause circuit breakers to trip more easily. However, if there is moisture causing a short circuit or electrical leakage, then the circuit breaker may trip more frequently.

Why are you less likely to get an electric shock after walking on carpet in humid weather than in dry weather?
In humid weather, the moisture in the air helps to conduct electricity, allowing any built-up static charge to dissipate more easily and reducing the likelihood of getting an electric shock. In dry weather, the lack of moisture in the air makes it harder for the static charge to dissipate, increasing the chance of getting shocked.
