seasonal warming

Temperature rise annually

Seasonal warming is the natural rise in temperature that occurs as seasons transition toward warmer months—typically from winter to spring or spring to summer.

The phrase describes expected cyclical changes rather than long-term climate trends: Seasonal warming brought the tulips into bloom early this year.

Sometimes contrasted with or conflated with climate change in public discourse.
