An ABS plastic or hard rubber Clarinet can play in just about any weather. Even in the rain if it is equipped with waterproof pads (Valentino pads). You can literally dunk it in water, shake it out and start playing, though I wouldn't recommend it (you'd surely start getting some rust on the springs and in the screws holes).
In really cold winter weather like we have around here the high school band clarinet kids have a hard time with their fingers getting too cold to move smoothly and also with the key oil getting too thick, which causes the keys to get stiff or lock up. A plateau clarinet, which has covers on all the keys, would permit them to use gloves, and "changing the oil" to a lower viscosity (possibly silicone based) would help with key lockup problems. But plateau clarinets are very expensive and have their own set of problems (hard to keep adjusted, expensive to repair) and aren't something the average person adds to their instrument collection.
The hot summers don't seem to pose many problems for the clarinet section besides heat stroke out on the practice field.
With a wood clarinet you have to be very careful about temperature changes and using it outdoors in winter weather is very likely to cause something to crack - usually the barrel or upper joint, caused by the temperature difference between the outside temperature and one's warm breath.

What kind of clarinets are in the orchestra?
Always: Bb soprano clarinets and Bass clarinets, sometimes: Soprano A and Eb clarinets, very rarely: other varieties of clarinet (piccolo clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet, contra alto/contrabass, alto clarinet, etc.)Bb soprano clarinets (the common clarinet) and bass clarinets are always used in orchestras and bands. Orchestra music (bands not as commonly, but still sometimes) frequently call for soprano A and soprano Eb clarinets, so usually Bb players learn an alternate clarinet and play it when they're not playing the normal Bb part. Other kinds of clarinets, such as basset clarinet, tenor clarinet, and basset horn, are rarely used (not never used, just not nearly as commonly.) Alto clarinets are used much more frequently in bands than in orchestras.
