That's what some scientists are pointing to. However others say their is a natural rhythm to our immune system that is effected by seasonal change. Read the article it's interesting.

I've read it, it's got nothing new in it, fact is there are some very hot places where the growth of the virus is accelerating with no signs of slowing.
The only plus to good weather is UV rays kill the virus on hard surfaces quicker - 3hrs against 3 days.

The whole summer thing that the government are trotting out is more to do with bed availability and NHS capacity than the virus dying out.

The virus is going nowhere until we either have a vaccine or herd immunity.

I went to MAdrid on BUSINESS end of February, it was like a normal summers day in the north of england, about 20 degrees, warm enough to walk around in a t-shirt, so no, warm weather aint going to kill it.
