unseasonableness

Climatic timing wrongness

Unseasonableness is the quality of occurring at an inappropriate or unexpected time.

Weather exhibits unseasonableness when it defies what's typical for the calendar—snow in May, warmth in January.

The term extends beyond climate to any ill-timed occurrence: The unseasonableness of his remarks made everyone uncomfortable.

It suggests not just poor timing but a violation of natural or social rhythms.
