Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
This was before Noah’s flood. NO Rain, Snow, or Hail (which came afterward).
Season means a time of year: Exodus 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
