Hairline horizontal cracks in plaster

I've noticed in the last few weeks that there are a few hairline cracks that run horizontally in both up and downstairs rooms. None of the cracks are bigger than 1-2mm but they seemed to have opened up a little more since the cold weather. I'm just curious as to how to monitor and what is the likely cause of horizontal vs vertical cracks?
