Why is pneumonia, bronchitis, uri etc so bad now during summer? will increase pred& start my nebs again help my thick phlegm without antibiotics?

It's not weather: Respiratory infections are only a little more common in winter than summer. It sounds like you may have asthma or COPD; these increase the the risk of bronchitis or pneumonia much more than the weather does. Keep in touch with your doctor and follow her advice.
