Default oil burning vs. outside temp?

ive got a ques....my car puffs out oil smoke once in a while...i noticed it getting much worse than usual during the past week, the warmest week weve had in a while..however, today was a bit cooler, and it have barely seen any blue smoke coming out of the exhaust all day. any explanation or just my imagination?

blue smoke usually indicates oil...only smoke i get when i 1st start up is some thin white smoke which i just think is condensation in the exhaust from the early morning dew.
