Hi Iguana,
Wellcome to the forum.
Indeed summer, in a dry country with lots of sun does really work. It seems among others to be dependant of the vitamins D that your skin is producing.
Winter, certainly for arthritis can be terrible.
To my idea UV lamps do not work. I have a sunshower in my bathroom but I did not find relief with it. Scientific research shows that UV light from lamps hardly encourages your skin to create vitamin D, so this my be an underlying cause.
So... Most of us stick to some kind of medication.
