Slot: Percentile Reference Seasonal Window (percentile_reference_seasonal_window)

Seasonal window over which the reference was computed. One of annual, warm_season_may_sep, calendar_month.

Tier: recommended

Why this slot matters

An annual reference distribution includes winter days and drags the 95th percentile far below a warm-season-only percentile; two thresholds that sound identical diverge substantially when the seasonal window is left unstated.

In plain terms

Whether "normal" includes the whole year or only the summer months changes what counts as unusually hot — a day that is extreme against summer-only history may be unremarkable against the full year.
