Seasonal investing requires understanding local economic cycles that don't always follow global patterns. South Africa's unique position creates opportunities that careful observers can identify.

The correlation between seasonal weather patterns and sector performance becomes more pronounced when you examine multi-year data trends. Agricultural exports peak during specific months, tourism follows predictable visitor patterns, and energy consumption varies with temperature changes. These cycles create windows where informed investors can position themselves before broader market recognition occurs.
