When metals (like the copper in the telephone wires) gets exposed to heat, they expand (thermal expansion) and when the get cooled they shrink. This directly implies that cables are longer in summer when it is hot. So telephone wires are longer in the summer.

Summer heat makes the wire longer and winter cold will make it shorter, because metals expand when heated and contract when cooled, but the installers know all about that and they allow for it.A more shocking fact is that summer thunderstorms sometimes send down a bolt or two of lightning long before the main part of the storm arrives. That would not be a good time to be near long wires or tall poles.
