Summer is the WORST time to shoot a film!
It might sound crazy while everybody has more free time. Most cast and crew would like go on vacation, which makes it harder to align the schedule.
And then you have the heat. Standing outside under the hot sun can be very unbearable. And filming indoors can get very hot with all the lights on, while you can't use the air conditioning as it would interfere with the audio.
Unless you must film in the summer to fit the story, I suggest to use these months to prepare your film and wait till everyone is back from their vacation and the months after the summer when the temperature has gone down and is more bearable.
