and Damping off fungus are more effective in wet cold/cool weather or they are more effective in wet dry weather?

Thanks all in anticipation.

hot and humid, not necessarily very hot, but definitely not in cold. Fungus infested media(such as garden soil), constant wet conditions

Actually my some 3 weeks old seedlings, planted in pots, got damping off in May month. 2 weeks continuous raining made the climate humid and cool and some extend to cold 5C at night and 10C at day. My potting seedlings, some of them were in shaded place and some in open sky. Seedlings kept in shaded and in open both got damping off. I m very careful in water application. I never make my potting soil soggy or saturate and use well drain bhal or loamy soil. I was surprise when in cool or in cold days (due to continuous raining and zala bari in may month) my seedlings got damping off problems and died.
