Jim, it sounds like your loaves may be over-fermenting if the surface is bubbly and the bread does not rise well. It may be that the changing weather has affected how quickly the bread rises and ferments and it may be time to make some summer adjustments. I would recommend using cooler water and cutting down the rising times. Keep an eye on the dough. When it becomes sticky and the surface rips easily that is a sign of over-fermented dough.
