Swelling in legs in your patient is because of water accumulation. This is secondary to kidney disease. Diuretics should be increased and with salt and fluid restricted diet. Consult your nephrologist ASAP.

Swelling on legs has nothing to do with season.
It could be due to water retention in the body.
You need to discuss with the treating nephrologist about changes in medications to control the swelling.
