There could be more than one reason, but summer is warmer and more conducive to bacterial growth. It is also a time when people are more active outdoors and tend to eat at picnics. Temperature-abused food will grow more Salmonella. The exposure to the out-of-doors could cause more contamination of food. People being active outside don't always wash their hands and that could be a source of contamination.
A study in Georgia found that the ground water contains more Salmonella during the summer - no surprise there.
