I cant think of a single reason tho close it all summer unless theres a big storm.
Old attic windows opening.
An oval window wooden.
You should open the window in late spring and close it in early fall.
It gets stifling and stale up there if we don t.
It will vent heat out morning noon and night.
We do get bugs flies in the summer ladybugs in the fall.
And if necessary i d keep them open just a crack until you can get some roof vents in place or gable vents.
6 windows in all.
We have a large full attic.
The windows have screens.
When the attic becomes part of the home to be heated and cooled open wall gable vents and roof vents are no longer feasible but the underside of the roof the sheathing and rafters can still.
If so you should keep the windows open both winter and summer.

During the summer and most of fall we keep 2 windows open for cross ventilation.
If you leave the attic windows open be sure and staple some screens over them maybe even hardware cloth would be better to keep the critters out bats and raccoons etc will invade your space and give you fits.
2 are ornamental and the other 4 are regular functioning windows.
