Tim,
I would start with looking at the battery cables.  I had a similar problem
(but in the fall, temps in the 50s) and the ground cable from the battery
was bad/corroded.  Get a multimeter, set it on "continuity" and check  for
ground continuity,  then check for voltage from the positive terminal to
ground.

Good luck.
