There are a few simple ways to do that.

‘The second season of the year’. It feels a tad uncomfortable but it works.
You can simply say which month or date it is. Regardless of where you are in the world the dates stay the same* (so December is warm in the southern hemisphere while July is cold).
‘Halfway through the year’ would be summer in the north and winter in the south.

*other than the international date line, but that is just a 1 day difference so it doesn’t really make a difference.

However, the Northern summer suggestion is probably better. Upvote that answer instead.
