Why is it masculine?

Verano is masculine because it derives from the Latin "veranum," which comes from "ver" (spring). In Latin, adjectives ending in "-anus" typically became masculine nouns in Spanish when nominalized. Spanish masculine nouns ending in "-ano" (the Spanish reflex of Latin "-anus") retain this masculine gender as a regular pattern in the language.
