Not an expert, but even if the warm weather doesn't make a difference, I think longer days and more sunlight will help disinfect the environment.

Correct. Sunlight kills viruses in general. For heat and relative humidity effects you can review https://europepmc.org/article/pmc/pmc2863430

it does not mention air conditioning, which is crazy, e.g., in South Arabia: if relations with humidity cited in the artile will be confirmed, I guess gov. will prohibit air conditioning
