I'm not sure yet if there are seasons implemented correctly. I saw that it's a little bit warmer in summer months and colder in winter months (depending on the biome you're playing). But it's really strange when the temperature drops suddenly from around 20 Degree to minus temperatures and it starts to snow in July/October... this just don't feel right for most countries. Since you manage weather effects too for animals and guest, you should be able to tell when it could snow... right now it's a little bit off, because I always had snow in the summer and never in winter - acts at least very random to me how especially this snow weather type comes up...
Why is the weather not connected with the actual "season"?
- Thread starter Crea_TivELA
- Start date
Would be the only excuse
but seriously, this needs to be implemented right... otherwise you have every weather random at everytime in your zoo and we wouldn't even have to see the current month in the game, because it's just not related to seasons. Maybe it's a thing of the time issue too, I don't know... but like it is right now, you only can be suprised by snow - I'm really unsure if Frontier meant it to be like that and maybe they don't know about it. It should be more transparent when you can count on snow, since it has a impact on the zoo.
I've had only one Time Snow in February all the other times it was in June (my Zoo is in Europe, Temperate Biome) also it only snowed 5 times or something like that but it is already Year 111
Maybe this explains the lack of Polar Bears. They are extinct in the Planet Universe because it is too hot for them
For some Reason there seems to be a Arctic Summer and a Arctic Winter but it seems there are no other Seasons in the Game. In my Zoo in Antarctica it snows a few Months and at another Time the Temperatures are over 0°C for a few Months
I'm just sitting here reading all these "weird" seasons and I'm just like "well, that would be the norm in Canada at least"
But yeah would be nice to have some kind of consistency, especially depending on where you are in the globe.

Never seen it snow in July here in Vancouver BC

It definitely would here in Alberta
I obviously can't remember every single year but I'm pretty sure just recently we got snow in as late as June, cause I remember thinking "what is this?"Yep! The game moves too fast for realistic seasons to have any kind of meaningful impact. I guess their solution to that is to randomize the weather patterns.

Oh wow... so the game calculates climate change and gets it right while it's creating weather complete random because there is no time, to make specific months with specific weather. (even this sentence is... oh wow! ).Maybe if time gets changed one day the weather becomes transparent too... I hope.
But for Climate Change the Arctic Winters are way too long. They need to get rid of the Snow in Antarctica completely (because of Climate Change)You had snow in June?
Maybe if time gets changed one day the weather becomes transparent too... I hope.
or they need to add Seasons to the other Biomes/ContinentsIn a "climate change dlc" maybe ... 
♀ - I wouldn't buy it, it's already varied mixed up enough for me

Shouldn't be too difficult to have a lookup table of weather probabilities for different locations/biomes. As others have said the stupidly fast passing of time would render it pretty meaningless though. An hour per month sounds like a good rate to make seasons possible and allow weather probabilities to be meaningful. It would also make the lives of the animals and the events in them much more significant.
