Answer
During summer when the surrounding temperature is high, we lose a considerable part of water through perspiration (i.e., in the form of sweat, direct evaporation, etc.). This means that the kidneys have to reabsorb more water from the urine. Due to this reason, we urinate fewer times in summer than in winter and the urine passed is generally thicker.
