"in summer" or "in the summer"

Hi. Please help me understand "the". Is there any difference between the two sentences? If no, which is more common?

It's very hot here in summer.
It's very hot here in the summer.

Thanks.

It's very hot here in the summer. There is no difference in meaning or intent in those two sentences. They are interchangeable unless the context makes it clear that one particular summer is being spoken of: It was very hot here in the summer that I met her.
