You can plant grass in summer, just like you can go to the beach in
January, but neither is advisable.

You know, some people need to realize that the internet is global. Nothing
wrong with going to the beach in January if you're in Australia. And
nothing wrong with planting grass in summer if you're in Greenland. Neither
you nor Probably know (because he didn't tell us) where the original poster
is or what zone he is in (if in the US). I'm in Minnesota, and although
it's not typical, the high here yesterday was 57 degrees F (14 Deg. C).

In fact, the original poster's email address (downeast.net) suggests
that he lives in upstate Maine (in the Bangor or Bar Harbor area).
The average high temperature in August is about 78 in that area.
That's maybe a little warmer than ideal for growing grass, but not
much.
