Hot, moist tropical rain forests have high temperatures and abundant moisture, which leads to high levels of evaporation and water vapor in the air. As the air temperature does not change much, the maximum amount of moisture that can be held in the air (saturation vapor pressure) is also high. Therefore, the relative humidity, which is the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount possible, is likely to be high.
