Bizarre Seasons	comment	This is a trope where rather than have the normal Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter progression in a nice predictable order, the setting has seasons that are weird. It may have extra seasons, or seasons with strange weather, or perhaps the seasons change randomly. Note this is for works that have this as an explicit part of the setting, it doesn't count if it's just the result of writers and producers either being bad at keeping track of what season it's supposed to be, assuming It's Always Spring unless the weather is plot-relevant, or just not giving a darn. It also doesn't count if the craziness was imposed by a deliberate magical spell or other similar effect, unless it happened so long ago that the characters don't think anything of it. Not to be mistaken for a Bizarro Episode that lasts an entire season.

Bizarre Seasons / int_1bd53ae0	comment	Bone: While the seasons in the valley proceed mostly as normal, winter has the habit of arriving very suddenly. As in, the valley gets unremarkable late summer weather and foliage until the very moment winter sets in, at which point a solid blanket of snow several inches thick plummets out of the blue and covers the whole valley, instantly transitioning things to mid-January type weather. It's also implied that this is specifically a valley-only thing — the Bone cousins, who come from a city on the other side of a desert from the valley, are evidently used to more traditional autumns, as they were caught rather off-guard by their first winter in the valley.

Honor's homeworld of Sphinx has fifteen months, with the seasons being four or five months long, with some noteworthy climate extremes. Many of the buildings have solid walls and very tall, steep roofs to keep the tremendous amounts of snow from piling up and crushing the buildings.

They're often concomitant with other environmental disasters, such as emissions of poisonous gas or ocean acidification. A Fifth Season can last anywhere from months to over a decade. Human civilization survives because everyone lives in a state of constant preparation for the next Season.

Bizarre Seasons / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The Discworld has the normal four seasons, but a Disc year is 800 days long so the season cycle happens twice over. The idea is that the seasons are determined by the position of a given area of the Disc to where the sun passes in its circuit around it; summer is when it's closest to where it sets or rises, and winter is when it's farthest from either point. The full 800-day year is the time it takes for the Disc to do a full circuit around the shoulders of the giant elephants holding it up; since any given spot on it will pass through a "summer" zone twice (when it reaches the sun's rising spot and when it reaches its setting one), the seasons all happen twice over the year. However, because the books still treat "a year" as being similar in length to a normal Earth one, this was retconned as saying that only wizards and learned people use the "true: year and most people consider a single cycle of seasons (400 days, close to our 365) to be a year.

Bizarre Seasons / int_4d610c3	comment	The Sorcerer's Receptionist: Kingdoms in a certain region have three seasons, due to Element shenanigans a long time ago. Winter is called the Season of Distant Skies, when everything is snowy. Then there's the calm, refreshing Season of Light, which lasts about half the year. Then things get warmer and the Season of Flowers, associated with romance and new life, bursts everything into bloom in time for the cycle to start again. Contrary to what you might expect, the Season of Flowers is the most dangerous because Ice, the demon-fighter of the pantheon, is weakest then, and demons are just as inflamed by it as humans. A lot of industries have to work harder during that time.

Its years, called solar sweeps, are a little over twice as long — six solar sweeps make about thirteen years. The seasons are seemingly classified based on light levels, as the two named ones are the dark season and the dim season, although Terezi also mentions her home looking nice "in the third autumn". These are further divided into lunar perigees for timekeeping.

Bizarre Seasons / int_7ac0e0b0	comment	I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: Vertumna, the planet housing the titular exocolony, has five seasons: Quiet, the closest thing to winter, is three months of "snowfall" in which the snow-like substance has a blue tinge, freezes at a temperature at which water would be cold but still liquid, and is mildly acidic. Pollen, the closest to spring, is three months favored by the vast majority of the local plant life to produce the season's namesake in large quantities. The resulting mix coats everything in pink powder for the entire season and causes air to be quite a strain on the respiratory system of anyone who would have been allergic to pollen back on Earth. Dust, the closest to summer, is three months of very dry and hot weather. Wet is three months of perpetual rainfall. Glow lasts one month during which the colony never sees the sun and most of the light comes from Glowing Flora (technically some of the mushrooms). This one has some colony residents so creeped out about it that they refuse to leave their quarters. It turns out to be right call, as this is the season during which the local wildlife is guaranteed to have a go at Gaia's Vengeance towards the colony.

Bizarre Seasons / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: What are called seasons on Westeros last a variable number of years at a time (there is no indication that this extends to any other continents, although Essos may be slightly affected), especially summer (during which you'll have patches of "normal", seasonal-like summer and winter spells) and winter (ditto). In short, "summer" and "winter" may better be described as very quickly cycling "interglacial" and "glacial" periods, rather than "seasons". Which means parts of the place can swing from being quite wonderful, thanks... to heavy drought, then to beyond damp to frozen solid and buried in many, many feet of snow, followed by waist-deep in mud, either baked solid again or frozen... again. With spells of okay in-between each phase. To only repeat the process sporadically. Due to this inconsistency, determining when the actual winter has started takes concerted effort by maesters across all of Westeros collecting meteorological data, and receives an official announcement in the form of their Citadel sending white ravens to the rookeries of every castle. The beginning of the series is the end of one of the longest summers in recent memory, which people say means winter will be even longer. Needless to say, winter is coming. Unsurprisingly, setting aside and storing food grown during the "quite wonderful, thanks" sections is a bit of a continental habit. Spinoff material hints that this is in part due to magic. The first of the Tales of Dunk & Egg has Dunk's mentor claim that the seasons have gotten longer ever since the last dragon died a few decades before the story began. Whether this is true or not isn't clear.

In fact, the weather stabilizing is a sign that you're near an island. As for the islands themselves, localized weather patterns can result in islands that are a single season for much of the year, giving us "Winter Islands" or "Summer Islands". This creates a minimum range of 16 potential weather patterns as you have the extremes of winter on a Winter Island to summer on a Summer Island. And that's not even going into the second half of the Grand Line where you have things such as constant rains of lightning.

Flavor-wise, most races are at their best in Lorwyn, and, except for the elves, it's a total Sugar Bowl. Shadowmoor, however, has the worst aspects of the races.

As such, the seasonal transitions take the form of events like the ponies setting up organized stampedes to shake the last autumn leaves out of the trees, or manually shoveling the last winter snows away while waking up hibernating animals and breaking the ice cover over lakes. The main conflict of "Winter Wrap Up" revolves around Ponyville being too disorganized to end Winter on time and get Spring started properly, and in "Tanks for the Memories" Rainbow Dash's shenanigans in the Weather Factory (with the intent of sabotaging the start of Winter) backfire and result in Winter arriving early. All at once. In the form of a gigantic snowball.

Bizarre Seasons / int_ccc76d45	comment	King of Dragon Pass and its prequel/successor Six Ages, being set in the world of Glorantha, have the same five seasons: Sea, Fire, Earth, Dark, and Storm, with a sixth "season" of Sacred Time marking the beginning of a new year (although Sacred Time is unplayable, since the only thing your people will do during this time is worship, make sacrifices, and take stock of their lives relative to the past year). Sea is roughly mid-to-late spring, and is when crops are planted. Fire is summer, and the heat means it's a good day to go bash your enemy's heads in or just steal their cows. Earth corresponds to autumn, when it's time to put down your weapons and pick up your sickles for the harvest. Dark is the harsh part of winter, when there are too many blizzards to do much of anything. Storm is an unpredictable season corresponding to late winter or early spring: it may be warm enough to go raiding, but then again, a freak storm could break out and ruin your day.

Bizarre Seasons / int_f6222924	comment	Invisible Sun: Because of the surreal nature of Actuality, seasons may pass normally in one place, pass in a different order, or even be skipped altogether. This doesn't just hold for the different Suns; because of the bizarre way things work under the Invisible Sun, it can even scale down being different seasons between different districts within the same place. In Satyrine, the magic-centered district of Fartown is permanently locked into autumn, even while the seasons pass normally in the rest of the city.

Bizarre Seasons / int_feb56b66	comment	Against the Storm: Since it is always raining, the seasons are marked by changes in the rain: Drizzle is for planting and has some positive effect on the settlement, Clearance is for harvesting and has no specific effect, and Storm brings terrors and an array of random hazards.
