On average, apps will run about 15% slower in the summer, according to research from Apteligent a mobile app intelligence platform.
Why? Due to the science behind the propagation of radio waves. Increases in water vapor cause attenuation of the waves, especially at higher frequency bands.

The accompanying compares latency of apps in the summer against the winter.
