I see that there are two sorts of a certain chain lubricant,
for wet or dry conditions. I bought the wet one because it
rained a lot here in Denmark at the time. But I expect a dry
spell in summer, so should I then switch to the other, or is
the wet version good in all cases?

Main advantage seems to be dry lubes are cleaner don’t gum up and similar.
Wet lubes do require more cleaning and removing in my experience but they
will hang in there in wet conditions.

Hi Dieter
A lot of the wet lube formulations will gunk up in dry conditions. It's
best to switch.

The wet lube might attract dust in dry dusty conditions. If it's not
dusty where you ride, it probably will not be bad to continue to use the
wet lube. As a bonus, if you're caught out in a summer rain storm,
you'll have lube better suited to the conditions.
