I mentioned the UV part a few pages earlier. Because we have the highest UV radiation anywhere in the world it is helping us.

Still has nothing to do with people suggesting that the virus dies over 26 degrees, which is complete rubbish, cause UV radiation levels can be low even when the temps are fairly high ie it's the UV radiation levels that help kill it, not temperature.

And yes I know there is a link between the two, but as I said just because the temp is high might not necessarily mean the UV radiation levels will be. Heavy cloud cover etc.
