Frühsommer vs Sommer

summer

'der Sommer' and 'der Frühsommer' are closely connected. 'Sommer' means the whole warm season between spring and autumn. 'Frühsommer' means only the beginning of summer, often June or the time right after spring. Then it is usually already warm, but not as hot as later on. Learners may confuse the words because early summer is part of summer. If you are speaking generally about the season, 'Sommer' fits. If you mean the beginning of this period, 'Frühsommer' is more precise.
