  • Hi, When you are describing specific situation you use the definite article : You will feel much better in the summer; She will visit them in the spring.
  • When you are talking generally about spring/summer/autumn/winter you can use 'the' or omit it: I go on holiday in (the) summer ; I ski in (the) winter.
  • You usually omit 'the' before the name of a season when using introductory 'It': It is cold in winter here; It was truly hot summer last year.

It was a truly hot summer last year.
