I imagine that it's easier to be a loner in most northern countries. Due to the bad weather conditions, many people stay indoors for most of the time.
In many hot countries, it's too hot for most of year to comfortably be outside. For example, in Dubai there was really hot even in late April. Even bus stops there have A/C. Singapore, for example, is not as hot, but Dubai has a cool season, plus Singapore is more humid, and it also gets more rain - in cooler climates like England rain mostly comes with drizzle, at which you can, though not perfectly comfortably, be outside without an umbrella, while in tropical rainforest climates like already named Singapore when it rains, it poors. Even most of European Mediterranean it's too hot in summer to comfortable be outside (except the sea, but you can't swim in sea all the time) - and winter, its cool season, is usually rainy.
I'd say it is more common to see people doing things alone often in countries that place greater emphasis on individualism (i.e. the US, Canada). At least from what i observed, people eat out or shop alone in these countries.
In Asia where the group represents the centre of emphasis, people tend to stick in groups than do things for their own individual interest. Also, people in many Asian countries (i.e. Japan, South Korea) tend to be more conscious about how society thinks of them if they were alone.

I don't know about tropical countries but in most warm climates it's too hot to be outside only at noon. The winter is rather dry too, especially compared to cold climates.
I don't know about loner, but I do think that the ability to find "alone time" outdoors is great for mental health. It's very easy in Canada to get away and find yourself completely alone, which I think everybody needs. People also respect each other's space, which is very easy to accomplish even in a big city.
Very easy in England. Don't know where it would be hard.
