The term hibernation is used to describe a state of lowered metabolism, body temperature and inactivity - it is not dependent on the season.

Therefore hibernation is still called hibernation no matter what time of year it occurs.

The term you are looking for is estivation. Estivation is a state of dormancy or inactivity that some animals enter during hot and dry summer months to conserve energy and survive through harsh conditions.
