I just wondered… this has certainly been true for me. It is perhaps because people take time to “get going” after the winter, and in Europe the wx tends to be OK through October, especially in the more southern parts.
Not for me. We are flying all year round. And the first bigger trip is normally latest on April.
Did most of my flying in the spring. Duxford, Billund & Dijon, and some IR training. Hoping to do Avignon this fall AND my IR skill test, finally! Fingers crossed and who knows, I’ll be flying to Avignon IFR!
May – October are the busier flying months for me.
Got most of my trips in the summer, a big thank for EuroGA & members for the tips/encouragements, now I will just fly occasionally to keep currency up
Also, time to do some classrooms/TK for an IR next year and finish training for FI this winter
Ps: we had a great summer weather in the UK this year and it looks set to carry on deep in winter (Global Warming is not all bad, some places do get the benefit 
)

Good luck with that, mind yourself that in calm winter days flying accuracy increases 
We quite often do a Spanish meet-up in October/November and I think this reflects the better wx later in the year, in the right places.
Winter is great for aircraft performance
