I am familiar with the practice of having separate
saddles for winter an summer (leastways on steel strung guitars) ... this is because the soundboard swells or shrinks and the height of the bridge and the saddle varies accordingly.
I have never heard of the practice of changing out the
nut according to the season , and tbh I cannot see why the change in humidity should have anything to do with the height of the strings at the nut.
Perhaps one of the classical luthiers could comment here.
