This is by far a crzy theory,

But have you guys noticed, the internet "feels" faster when the weather gets hot ?

That's just your brain slowing down in an effort to keep cool.

People go out and do things when it's warm and do less when it's cold out.
Rainy days are often slower.

Since Internet is a viscous fluid warmer weather allows Internet to loosen up a bit in it's tubes while traveling from the production plant to your home.

Wrong. This is the internet:

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Rainy days are often slower.

When it snowed and school closed in the small college town where I used to live, Netflix became unusable. If I could even get a movie to start, it would constantly be interrupted by buffering. That's the most dramatic effect I've ever seen on Internet bandwidth.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.
