Have you noticed that May and June seems cooler in the recent years, even though summers are getting hotter?

Are you sure about 2017? Idk how to look up past monthly averages for Canadian cities, but in Buffalo and Rochester, May 2017 was 0.0 degrees F and 0.8 degrees F below average respectively, so nearly average in temperature--I can't imagine Toronto would be too different.
Maybe your feel for what's average has been skewed by these other unseasonably warm Mays--like 2018, which was about 8 degrees F above average in Buffalo! Summerlike, indeed.
Quite positive. Toronto is just west of Lake Ontario and the lake effect is very pronounced in May. Whenever a low pressure approaches the wind shifts to the east making it 2-5C cooler than its northern suburbs, possibly 5-8C colder than Buffalo.. And we had a lot of rain (low pressures) that month.
In Nashville, May from 2010-2015 had above average temperatures. May 2016 and 2017 were a little below average. While May 2018 and 2019 were very warm. So no, I would say May has been mostly above average for us recently. This has also been the case for June. Since 2010, only June 2017 had below average temperatures.
It’s July 5th and only 62 here, definitely not a hotter summer. We had days at 82 and 92 in June.
May and June have been above average the last several years. July so far is below average and much cloudier than normal. July 2011 was similar and that was that last below average July.

I'm liking the continued PNW troughing, because down here in the SW, it's keeping the monsoon away. Dews are still only in the 20s and 30s for us, where they would on average be in the 50s by now 😁

Models are showing a Four Corners High setting in soon, which means warmth for us and monsoon for you.

Usually I hate it when our summers are cooler and wetter than normal, but I’m so fed up with all the forest fires and droughts that I’m somewhat pleased so far this year, I just hope that this will be enough to stave off the forest fires come August/September.
Um, no? May 2017 was warm, May 2018 was the hottest or second-hottest on record (depending on which station you use), and May 2019 was average.
And you have to go back to 2013 to find a below-average June here.
Summers in Kansas City are heating and stabilizing. Every month is always above average (except the occasional odd August 2017), but we never hit 100F anymore. It's always humid, and it feels like the lows never drop below 70F.
It's miserable.
Edit: Forgot to mention I actually did some math on this once. The only months that are getting cooler here, relative to the 1981-2010 averages, are February (noticeably, but not hugely) and August (by such a tiny amount that it's nearly insignificant, and 2017's weird cool August is probably skewing it).
