Seasons / Availability

As we all know seasons determine availability of certain elements, like crops and animals, meaning true market price fluctuations from the scarcity of these elements. Taking this into consideration, are seasons being reflected globally or local to specific in-game "continents"? For example, if one side of the world is experiencing winter, the opposing end could be experiencing a warmer climate. Meaning there is a true rotation around the continent(s) dispersing availability, and giving us more reason for larger trade routes and establishing dynamic contracts.
TLDR; Are seasons going to be local, or global. Do we have any idea on season durations?

However, @Dygz is generally better informed than I am, so I am not sure.
More moderate temperaments might be more prone to freezing in the Winter, deserts might be more prone to extreme weather in the summer perhaps sandstorms or blazing heatwaves.
I am also very interested in the weather systems but this is how I believe they will approach the seasons, but am aware we need some more information on the variety. Perhaps a question to give ahead of the next live stream

Desert biomes could have an oasis that dries up in the Summer, and in the Winter there is enough rain to fill it up with water.
I don't think that would be too radical to implement.
I don't know about the dried oasis or ice fishing, but I like those ideas!
