Seasonal Lag on other planets
Other planets have different seasonal lags. Neptune, for instance, has a year that lasts 165 Earth years and a seasonal lag of about 30 Earth years.

In Australia, the seasons are defined by grouping the calendar months in the following way: ...
season: a way of dividing up the calendar year according to regular occurrences such as the equinoxes and solstices. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, from the vernal equinox to the summer solstice is Spring (March 21 to June21).
dry season"In certain types of climate, an annually recurring period of one or more months during which precipitation is at a minimum for that region; the opposite of rainy season.
GROWING SEASON Considered the period of the year during which the temperature of cultivated vegetation remains sufficiently high enough to allow plant growth.
Growing Season- the period of time between the last killing frost of spring and the first killing frost of autumn.
Growing Season
(Vegetation Season) Season during which meteorological conditions are favorable to the growth of plants.
Gust
Sudden brief increase of the wind speed over its mean value.
Growing season The number of days between the last spring freeze date and the first fall freeze date.

Seasons - The earth's position in relation to the sun is always changing. The earth spins around its axis, an imaginary line that runs between the north and south poles.
Seasonal winds. They are caused primarily by the greater annual variation in air temperature over large land surfaces compared to ocean surfaces though other factors like land-relief are important.

A seasonal volume forecast, generally for a period centered around the time of spring snowmelt (e.g., April-July). The outlooks are in units of acre-feet and represent the expected volume of water to pass by a given point during a snowmelt season.
the season of the year which is the transition period from summer to winter occurring as the sun approaches the winter solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, fall customarily includes the months of September, October and November.
Hurricane Season: The portion of the year having a relatively high incidence of hurricanes. The hurricane season in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico runs from June 1 to November 30.
HURRICANE SEASON: The part of the year having a relatively high incidence of hurricanes. In the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Central Pacific, the season is from June through November.
The Ozone Season During the warm season in North America, stronger sunlight and heat combine to convert industrial and transportation emissions into smog (ground-level ozone). This is particularly true for major metropolitan areas.
monsoon: season of wind originating from the Indian Ocean and southern Asia, these winds are usually accompanied by heavy rains.

Typhoon SeasonThe part of the year having a relatively high incidence of tropical cyclones. In the western North Pacific, the typhoon season is from July 1 to December 15. Tropical cyclones can occur year-round in any basin.
The seasonal shift of winds created by the great annual temperature variation that occurs over large land areas in contrast with associated ocean surfaces.
Climate Diagnostics Bulletin(CDB) - The monthly CPC Bulletin reports on the previous months' status of the ocean-atmosphere climate system and provides various seasonal ENSO-related outlooks. It is issued by the fifteenth of the month.
PACPacificPacific Decadal Oscillation(Abbrev. PDO) - a recently described pattern of climate variation similar to ENSO though on a timescale of decades and not seasons.
When the seasonal Nearshore forecast is not issued, the Open Lake forecast includes a forecast of nearshore waters. Global Forecast System(GFS)- One of the operational forecast models run at NCEP.
For example, a long-range forecaster predicting conditions for the upcoming winter may make comparisons to analog seasons in which meteorological factors were similar to those of the upcoming season.
Wadi A valley, gully, or streambed in northern Africa and southwestern Asia that remains dry except during the rainy season. A stream that flows through such a channel. Wadi gauge Same as river gauge or stream gauge.
seasonal variation The change in a set of meteorological parameters averaged over three months. Seasonal variation is the largest climatic variation, and temperature is the most fre- quently observed meteorological parameter.
The layers, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and the exosphere, vary around the globe and in response to seasonal changes. Troposphere stems from the Greek word tropos, which means turning or mixing.
climateThe accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. It is a description of aggregate weather conditions; the sum of all statistical weather information that helps describe a place or region.
If the winds reach 38 MPH, the system is called a tropical storm and given a name from a list for that season. For the Atlantic Ocean, the hurricane season is June 1 to November 30.
The Atlantic season lasts from June to November. The storm begins as a tropical depression, as anticlockwise circulation begins to develop around a rainy, deepening low-pressure area.
Many of the stations are seasonal and do not report during the off season. WFAS queries WIMS each afternoon and generates maps from the day's weather observations.
The ocean model forecasts seasonal changes in oceanic variables, such as sea surface temperature and ocean currents.
Monsoon -The word "monsoon" appears to have originated from the Arabic word mausim which means season.
The Veteran's Day storm of November 9-14, 1996 may be the most severe early season lake effect snow (LES) storm the Great Lakes has witnessed in the past fifty years.
winter - Astronomically, between the winter solstice and vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and the summer solstice and autumnal equinox in the Southern Hemisphere; the coldest season of the year; ...
What is not clear, and has not been satisfactorily proven (or indeed disproved), is whether there is any season-by-season link between the ENSO variations (warm-normal-cold), and regional climates well away from the Pacific/Equatorial region, ...
a persistent wind throughout a season but often refers to the heavy rains that accompany them. Best known is the summer southwesterly monsoon over India followed by a northeasterly monsoon over Southeast Asia in winter.
MONSOON: A persistent seasonal wind, often responsible for seasonal precipitation regime.
MOS: Model Output Statistics.
MRF: Medium Range Forecast model generated every 12 hours by NCEP.
CLIMATE: The historical record of average daily and seasonal weather events.
CLOSED LOW: See Cutoff Low below.
COASTAL FLOODING: The inundation of land areas along the coast caused by sea water above normal tidal actions.
The term originally referred solely to the winds of the Arabian Sea which blow for about six months from the north-east (in winter) and for six months from the south-west (in summer), but now is also used for other marked seasonal winds.
Freeze Warning - Issued during the growing season when surface temperatures are expected to drop below freezing over a large area for an extended period of time, regardless if frost develops or not.
Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time.
Climatic controls The relatively permanent factors that govern the general nature of the climate of a region.
Frost Advisory- Issued during the growing season when widespread frost formation is expected over an extensive area. Surface temperatures are usually in the mid 30s Fahrenheit.
