Default Re-roofing--when is the best time of year?

I'd think that the hotter months are the best times to do it (all the
stuff sticks together easier).

I had a recent insurance settlement to replace a roof following a hailstorm. I
have two years to make the repairs, so I'm in no hurry since there are no leaks
since the damage is mainly superficial at this point (I had just enough hail
dings in 3-tab shingles, and none are missing). Since this area is still prone
to hailstorms this time of year, I'd hate to replace it now, have another
hailstorm (and my large insurance deductible) all over again. Some of my
neighbors with equal damage have already started doing theirs, while others
appear to be in no hurry. So I may wait until storm season is over. But then
we would be into summer, and is it bad to put on a new roof in the hottest part
of the summer? Would it be better if I wait until the fall months? Thanks
for info.
