The Impact of Weather on Gas Demand
Changing weather patterns are increasingly influencing gas demand, shifting traditional market dynamics. Historically, gas traders focused primarily on winter months for heating, but now they must also consider factors like heat waves and droughts. For instance, hotter summers have led to increased reliance on gas for air conditioning, particularly in major consuming countries like the U.S., China, and India. This change in demand patterns is evident in Europe, where summer gas prices have recently surpassed winter prices, resulting in a more complex market scenario.
