hot weather and depth

Was just wondering if hot and dry ground can make your metal detector read different from when ground is moist and damp. If so, why is this?
It just seems that lately I have been noticing that I get less depth when the ground is hot and dry. Just kind of curious why this happens I guess.... Is there anything I can do or programing that can help me achieve extra depth in dry, hot ground.
 
An increasing amount of moisture content in the ground will enhance the detection range of all metal objects. The greater the moisture content in the ground, the greater the electrical conductance and electromagnetic conductance of the soil. Also, moisture causes metallic items to electrically, electromagnetically, conduct better in the Earth.
