I'd say more likely is that your iron's temperature setting has been bumped, the iron isn't tinned or doesn't have a clean tip.
It is also possible that the ceramic heating element in the iron has cracked if it got dropped or bumped during your move.
I've had good luck soldering with a cheap iron in the lower mainland so I'd say it is not to do with the humidity or outdoor temperature.
