It does not change with the weather. It changes with the ambient temperature,

no matter what is going on outside <g>.

Love your simple and logical correction, Chris!

The only way to get around coconut oil or any of your butters changing " with the

ambient temperature " is to use a wax that maintains the structure of your balm.

Beeswax is the best, but if you want to make a vegan balm you can substitute

candelilla wax. The only difference is that candelilla wax can make your balms

feel " brittle " and not as smooth as the beeswax.

You might try adding some murumura butter, it is sold even in warm temps.
