Is it from front or rear.

Bonnet bushes?

Dry weather and you get more squeaks. Hose down each corner in turn and see if it goes away when driving. Rear door [ if you have one ] is a common cause of squeaks.

My rear door squeals disappeared with the addition of a spare wheel carrier. I’m also confident when I look in the rear view now, that the door and wheel will still be there.

Its from the rear. Sounds underneath the vehicle

It was radius arm chassis end bushes on mine. Can of silicone spray and a straw to get it into all the little nooks and crannies sorted it out until I replaced the bushes. Do on corner at a time if you want to trace which one squeaks.
Could also be shock bushes. Same treatment should do the trick, at least in the short term.
