Ce sont des considérations d'ordre climatique qui sont à l'origine de ce choix en zone tempérée. Par exemple, l'hiver devrait être une période de trois mois centrée sur le solstice d'hiver, mais du fait de l'inertie thermique de l'atmosphère, un décalage de trois semaines environ conduit à adopter la période décembre-février. 1, record 1, French, - saison%20climatologique
