Interesting data point, Mikael. I would have thought it to be exactly the other way around given how summer supposedly creates infection dips, and summer is usually dryer.
That depends. In colder climates, indoor is very dry in the winter (because outdoor air is warmed up, meaning relative humidity drops a lot). So indoors the summer is typically more humid compared to winter.
In warmer climate it can be the other way around, because AC lowers humidity. So the warmer it is outside, the dryer climate indoors because of AC use.
