Winter skill issue is the phenomenon in which a person's performance in a video game is significantly worse during winter and its surrounding months, or even just cold weather in general. The causes for winter skill issue could be anything from cold hands making it more difficult to aim in a shooter game or just general discomfort in cold weather translating to worse performance.

Derived from winter + skill issue.
I dropped to Bronze 2 in VALORANT today because of winter skill issue.

I used to be #375 in OCE in April, but now I am #562 and it's July. Bloody winter skill issue.
