hot summer
Heat wave time
A hot summer is a summer season marked by higher-than-usual temperatures.
The phrase functions as a basic description but also carries cultural weight—hot summers appear in nostalggia, coming-of-age stories, and complaints about climate: That was the hot summer we spent at the lake.
It's going to be a hot summer.
