Hello,
Thanks for the query.
itching between fingers usually indicates scabies.
However scabies has no relation with season.

Another possibility is solar prurigo,
but this should manifest on all sun exposed area.

Take some antihistamine and apply a mild steroid cream.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.

If the condition persists even after the use of cream, please meet a dermatologist.
Thank you
