I would guess that summer here goes from about October to April. Summer (generally low 30's) here is sub-tropical, but far closer to the tropic than the temperate zone, and so it's hot-and-humid. Then there's our autumn and spring, mostly the same as each other (mid to high 20's, but humidity not so high), which are May and September respectively. Winter is June-to-August, but only about a month of it is truly "cold" (that is, around 20C days, and dry).
Or, to put the seasons into my perspective, late August to early June is potential "beachtime". The rest requires ugg boots, which are even less flattering when you're wearing shorts.

Looking forward to summer here requires being selective with your memory. It brings a lot of lazy days and hazy days and bodysurfing and pool-bathing, but one forgets that, outside of the water or a long, cool drink, it goes a long time with hot humidity and no respite from it (even overnight, when it's particularly noticeable).
Still...SUMMER! WOOHOO!
