The word is a simple compound of 'der Sommer' (summer) and 'der Monat' (month). Its meaning is therefore literal: a month that falls in summer.
Der Juli ist mein liebster Sommermonat.
July is my favorite summer month.
The word is often used in the plural, 'die Sommermonate' (the summer months), to refer to the entire period from June to August. The months are often named directly in this context.
In den Sommermonaten Juni, Juli und August haben die meisten Schüler Ferien.
In the summer months of June, July, and August, most students are on vacation.
When talking about a specific summer month, you usually use the preposition 'in' with the dative: 'im Sommermonat Juli' (in the summer month of July).
