The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Fire made a complaint before the Lord saying." O Lord, some parts of mine have consumed the others." So it was allowed to take two exhalations, one exhalation in winter and the other exhalation in summer. That is why you find extreme heat (in summer) and extreme cold (in winter). (Using translation from Muslim 617a)  

الدارمي:٢٨٨٧أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا فَقَالَتْ يا رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا فَأَذِنَ الله تبارك وتعالى لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ فَهُوَ أَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ وَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الزَّمْهَرِيرِ

The above-mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 865)  

الدارمي:٢٨٨٨أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ
