Expect extremely warm to very hot temperatures. I certainly wouldn't plan it as a major destination trip for that time of year. Do some investigation of alternate areas in case you decide Moab is unclimbable. There are very few sport routes in and around Moab, with Mill Creek Canyon being the exception. Although, while Mill Creek is technically sport, the routes are rather run-out compared to other sport climbing areas.
