We use the term estivation (sometimes aestivation) to describe something similar to hibernation, and it is applied to an organism that goes into a torpor or extremely slowed life function during the summer. If we consider something like a snail, which does well in cool, wet weather, we'd find these creatures hidden in deep, dark recesses when the hot, dry summer months arrive. The snails would remain inactive in seclusion until the cooler and more humid fall months arrive. They'd then return to activity. The snail would be said to estivate, or go into estivation, during the summer.
