Solution

Here, the use of 'these' is incorrect. The use of 'the' is the correct replacement for 'these'. The use of 'these' makes for an unclear reference: what exactly is 'these' referring to? 'These' refer to which summer months? Article 'the' is a more apt fit given the context of the sentence.
