| Oct 13, 2015 at 8:22 | comment | added | Howard Miller | I'm sorry for making this difficult. This is my first shot at Worldbuilding, so any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. I thought at first the answer had to be some combination of astronomical bodies, but Confused Merlin might be on to something. Maybe such a condition has been going on for several million years culminating in an intelligent race who discover their luck is about to run out. | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 6:35 | comment | added | Confused Merlin | I think you need to edit the question itself to unlock this thread... however, you could forfeit a strange celestial constellation and switch to a gulf-stream-like ocean stream that switches flow whenever temperature surpass 45 Degree Celsius or fall below -30 degree and brings either warm water in winter or cold water in summer, just to fall back to usual flow after a given time (two weeks) below the trigger-temperature. I would like to offer this as an answer... :) | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 2:00 | comment | added | Howard Miller | A planet could have an axial tilt of nearly 0 degrees, and have identical seasons in both hemispheres due to the eccentricity of the orbit, being much closer to its primary during summer and much farther away during winter. So, let's say this planet has surface temperatures at the poles nearing 46C at the peak of summer and and -60C at the middle of winter. Further let's say that these temperatures moderate to 25C for about 2 weeks at the midpoint of summer and winter. Maybe it's a planet orbiting a binary star with some kind of orbital resonance. One binary occluding the other midsummer? | |

| Oct 12, 2015 at 17:59 | comment | added | James | Can you elaborate a bit Howard? Do you want this effect to be global or restricted to a local area? Does the planet still have 4 seasons or only two? Do you want this period to be predictable to the point of exact dates? If you can clear things like that up we can help you with an answer, as it stands there isn't really a question (it can be inferred) written nor do we know what kind of system we are dealing with. | |
| Oct 12, 2015 at 4:57 | comment | added | Michael Richardson | As one half of a world experiences summer while the other half experiences winter, you have each half getting hit by opposite extremes except for a 2 week period in the center of the season when the extremes are mitigated. | |
| Oct 11, 2015 at 21:47 | comment | added | Vincent | I'm just not certain if it's a question about meteorology (it happens from time to time but is hard to predict: Chinook) or climatology (it's a defining characteristic of February and August and always happen at the same time: the monsoon) . | |
