Like a season’s condensation being aired (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

summery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'aired' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'like a season's condensation' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is found within the answer.
'season' could be 'summer' (summer is a season) and 'summer' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for summery that I've seen before include "Hot" , "of the season" , "description of August in UK?" , "Like August, say" , "concerning part of the year" .)
