Seasons might play a role? Summer is almost over.

Interesting. What about during the winter months?

Figures they'll do it during the height of summer, now try it in winter.

You seems like to think in the northern hemisphere and places with 4 seasons.

Summer yes, but winter not so much.

Probably not in the summer time.

2024-11-01 is in winter, 2024-09-13 is in summer. So the effect seems to be the opposite of what you say.

Well, duh, it's June. Get back to us when they do the same "feat" in wintertime.

Wait...are we in "summer" on that time-scale now?!
