Why natural gas can be seasonal

Winter heating

Cold weather can rapidly increase heating demand and accelerate storage withdrawals.

Spring shoulder season

Demand often softens between winter heating and summer cooling, allowing storage rebuilding.

Summer cooling

Hot weather can raise power-sector gas demand as electricity consumption increases.

Storage cycle

The injection and withdrawal seasons create recurring inventory milestones watched by traders.
