Whether you are attending the XXX in Dallas this August, or relaxing with the family in the backyard, you will want to stay mindful of the extra stress that heat can impose on your body. Just as we take extra precautions against hypothermia in colder temperatures by heading indoors, bundling up, or eating some chicken soup, we need to take extra steps to prevent heat-related problems when the mercury rises each summer. Follow these tips and your ***summer is sure to be a breeze***. Many thanks for your ideas.

de seguro) tu verano será un paseo; (de seguro) tu verano será un picnic
otra posibilidad es
"(de seguro) pasarás el verano fresca(o) como un pepino"

En realidad lo de pepino suena mejor con "lechuga": "fresca(o) como una lechuga" pues ya exite este modismo con "lechuga"

Nota: En este caso "breeze" quiere decir que será fácil en el sentido de que no habrá mayores contratiempos — será un verano placentero y suave ...el hincapié es en lo fácil o no complicado.
Entonces la idea de 'paseo' o "picnic' encaja bien. Al menos en el Caribe se usa mucho la idea de que algo es un paseo o algo es un picnic para denotar esto.

...y tu verano será fresco....
Remember, we´re talking about heat related issues. Breeze is a fresh wind, and it seems that there's a play of words related on how easy the summer will be. This also can be applied:
...y tu verano se pasará volando...
or
...y tu verano será como el viento...
...y tu verano se pasará volando...
or
...y tu verano será como el viento...

: Sí, me gusta esta opción porque hace referencia al frescor opuesto al calor

David Waelder
: En realidad es un juego de palabras "be a breeze" = "pan comido" (facil) y el hecho que hablan de calor. "Tu verano sera fresco" no expresa a 100% el significado

2) Seguro sentirás el verano como una brisa
¡Suerte!

su verano será llevadero/pasará inadvertido

or
it will pass flying/rapidly (just lika a breeze)
