Some days it's super loose. Some days it's tight. I live in NY so idk if the humidity has anything to do with that. Anything helps. Thanks.

I live in Kentucky and have massive temperature swings as well. I was super paranoid about checking my tension after every trip but as I grew more accustomed to my blower, I check it a lot less now. I can hear the differences between when it's too tight or if it's getting too loose.
My car is a DD that sees a lot of stop/go driving, so I don't get many chances to give it hell and have had pretty good luck on keeping the tension where it should be. I may check it now before a long trip or afterwards, or perhaps every other week unless, like I said before, it starts to sound different and I get belt flap.
In my opinion there's no right or wrong amount of times you can check to make sure it's properly tensioned. These are big investments with severe consequences if something goes wrong, so if you want to check it every 1hr, then so be it.
Hope this helps.
