Hello,
Low humidity in the summer is one of the common causes of dryness and itching.
I suggest avoiding too much sun exposure. I also suggest to drink liquids and keep yourself hydrated during the summer.
I also recommend to use a good moisturizer to avoid skin dehydration. In case of severe itching, I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
