You didn't tell us what type lawn. Assuming bluegrass or similar, when temps cooler but well above freezing. Bluegrass is a "cool season" grass meaning it does it's best growing in cooler temps, not extreme heat. That's not to say you can't seed in heat, but it's a bugger to keep moist.
Warm season grasses such as Bermuda should be sown or sprigged as you enter the warm season. With Bermuda though, you can overseed with an cool season annual for the winter and have a green lawn thru the winter. Of course you have to live in a nonfreezing winter area.
Remember, you'll need to so some prep before tossing the seed. You want it to land on the soil, not atop old grass stems and such called thatch. Rake out the old stuff first.

The best seasons for sowing are spring and early autumn, but you can sow any time when the soil temperature is high enough for germination-about 10c (50f) provided there is enough natural moisture or the seed can be kept watered. Most commercial grass seed is treated with bird replant and may well take slightly longer to germinate. When grass seed is sown it should be very lightly raked into the soil, but not completely as the seed requires some light to trigger the germination process. Seed can take anything upto 3 to 4 weeks to germinate, depending on the type of seed.

A bit late for this year and better to wait until spring when the weather is warming up. In the meantime give it a Winter Feed to help it cope during the cold months.

In the Spring is best, when it can be watered and get plenty of sunshine. Should take about 2 weeks to start showing. Good luck
