Weather and humidity does often play a factor in bread making. You may need to adjust the flour to water ratio based on your environment. The dough should be slightly tacky to the touch, but not super sticky or hard to handle. Feel free to mix in some additional flour to help the dough stiffen up, but be aware that adding too much flour can make the bread tough in the end. You can also try folding the dough over on itself a few times to help tighten up the gluten structure and make it easier to handle. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
