Summer is a 4.5 month season. It lasts from mid-may until the beginning of October. If it's not raining (showers rarely last longer than 15 to 20 minutes) the heat index is 100 to 110. Rain can drop the temp 30 degrees but as soon as it stops the steam bath begins and it's not unusual to see "steam" rising from the pavement. AC is a must (I remember going to school with no AC and it was not fun having sweat drip off of your forehead onto your paper) and makes it tolerable along with our multiple pools (you must have AC in the car too). October until mid-May are wonderful although it can get cold for a few days in winter (temp can range from the 20's to the upper 70's).
