Seasonal Frequency Increase

I've never had frequency problems in many years of IC (I may have had IC since childhood, but I was diagnosed about 17 years ago) until this summer. My uro/gyno ARNP says she swears summer makes IC patients' frequency jump. She also said it's just an observation and NOT anything backed up by any science.

Does anybody else get more frequency in the summer?

I have significantly more frequency and pain if I am in the least bit dehydrated... and it is easy to get dehydrated in the summer heat.
