The Summer Factor: Temperature. Temperature also affects density altitude. When you heat the air, the air molecules have more energy. And, when they have more energy, they spread farther apart. (You probably learned this in high school chemistry class...). When the air is warmer than standard, it's less dense and performance decreases.
Air is made of molecules, and therefore has mass. Barometric pressure is a measure of how much mass of air, i.e. how many air molecules, exist above the point of measurement, all the way up to the top of the atmosphere. Therefore, barometric pressure decreases with elevation. Any given volume of air has density. The density of air can vary from place to place and from time to time. The difference in barometric pressure between observation sites at different elevations is a measure of the density of air in a column of air between those two elevations. Cold air is denser than warm air.
