Yep... because you're getting moisture (i.e. rain) on them all year
long. Here, it stops raining in late April/early May and doesn't rain
again until September or October. That ~5 months of no rain and the sun
beating on my wiper blades makes them dry out and crack really fast.
In the summer, the only thing I use my wipers for is to clean bugs off
the window while I'm driving.
Speaking of which, I better check to make sure my 3rd brake light is
still sealed well before it starts raining again.
