As the ambient temperature and humidity increase, the temperature at which cooling water (cw) can be supplied

Question:

As the ambient temperature and humidity increase, the temperature at which cooling water (cw) can be supplied to any piece of equipment increases. For example, in the winter, cw may be available at 27°C whereas in midsummer it may rise to 34°C. How, if at all, does this affect the pressure at which a distillation column operates (assuming that the overhead condenser uses cooling water as the heat exchange utility)?
