Houston has high humidity, and will make it into the 90’s this week. If this is true, it should slow down here before someplace colder, right?

I would presume that if it doesn’t, then this summer assumption is not relevant.

I think we should encourage people to turn off their Air Conditioners, especially in indoor places like malls and bars where people gather. ACs reduce both temperature and humidity and make a more favorable environment for the virus.
Heat, cold, sun, snow, and humidity don't have any effect on the virus (according to WHO). It was spreading rapidly in the Southern Hemisphere when it was Summer there.
At the very least I hope the heat/sunlight would kill the viruses quicker when someone infected coughs on a park bench or something like that..
