Defintely seasonal asthma.  Enjoy your medication free summers!!  

But make sure that you start any preventative medication you are on before the temperature starts dropping to stop symptoms in the winter.

I've been an asthmatic since I was 4 I'm now 25 I'd say what you have is exactly that is seasonal  asthma my asthma only plays up in the winter now like you I use little if anything during summer and until recently when I included a long acting bronco dilator I was using 10 puffs of ventolin a day.
