Higher in the winter time, with shorter days and colder temperatures. Depending on where you live. (I definitely go through periodic cycle based on this. )

Pretty sure it's the warmer months?

I think it's winter because many people have seasonal depression and it makes dealing with mental illnesses much harder. Also it has something to do with holidays from what I remember. Like seeing happy people enjoying holidays is triggering.

According to this, the suicide rate is highest during the late spring and early summer months.

There are studies that say that while depression is most common in the winter, most suicides definitely happen in the spring.

There are various theories for this. On the one hand, it is assumed that it takes a few months for the depression from the winter to culminate in suicide. On the other hand, the difference between the dark inner life and the nature and joy of other people that blossom in spring is more painfully noticeable.

Personally, I only ever had suicide attempts between spring and autumn.

Idk. I don't think that yearly seasons are the main effect why people commit suicide, it may play a role but it's not the major role. Suicide has far deeper roots than yearly seasons.
