Well colder weather can effect immune response due to blood vessel restriction. Also, reduced sun can lead to lower vitamin D levels. It’s also suggested that viruses thrive better in cold, dry air.
Warm weather doesn’t necessarily stop a virus from spreading, but definitely helps our bodies gear up to better fight infection.
As far as surface survival, just remember that any test done is on a variety of surfaces in a controlled environment. I’ve seen anywhere from a couple of hours to 9 days, but I haven’t seen any info on any variables, but I know viruses don’t typically last long on smooth surfaces such as metals, glass, plastic etc.
