turntable sounds better on warm summer nights

On warm summer evenings it has more presence than cooler winter evenings.I presume this has something to do with the tracking weight of my clearaudio virtuoso wood MM cartridge on warm evenings when the room gets to about 75. If it sounds better in the summer do I add or subtract weight in the winter when the room is about 5 degrees F cooler, in order to get the same summer sound?

All the comments here on time of day and year, temp and humidity effects on cantilever suspension, power grid, etc. make sense. How about the effect of heat and humidity on a wood-bodied cartridge?

My brother's cello always sounded more sonorous and resonant on a warm muggy day.
