The earth happens to be (a coincidence) closest to the sun during winter
in the northern hemisphere. This means the ionosphere receives the most
radiation during daytime which makes it support propagation better,
especially the higher frequencies.
Well yes, but then generally the lower frequencies suffer. Unfortunately, during the
summer when the lower frequencies actually propagate a bit better we are then plagued
by thunderstorm static.
