seasonal effects

Seasonal effects refer to predictable changes in various aspects of daily life, economy, or environment that occur at specific times of the year. These shifts are driven by seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—and can influence weather patterns, consumer behavior, agricultural cycles, and energy use. For example, retail sales often boost during holidays in winter, and agricultural harvests depend on seasonal planting and growth periods. Recognizing these effects helps businesses and individuals plan effectively, anticipate fluctuations, and adapt strategies to seasonal variations.
