Demand for natural gas exhibits seasonality, with the largest peak in demand during the winter months due to increased need for space heating. A second, smaller peak occurs during the summer due to increased electricity generation for air conditioning. Natural gas demand is typically lower during the spring and fall shoulder seasons, influencing natural gas storage levels.
