Seasonable means right for that time of year — the weather or the kind of day you would expect then, or that feels fitting. Seasonable weather in winter is cold; in summer it is warm. A seasonable coat is the coat that time of year calls for. Though actually this is not the same as seasonal. Seasonal means tied to a season (seasonal fruit, seasonal work). Seasonable means suitable or usual for that season. It is a rather formal, slightly old-fashioned word. You will meet it more in writing about the weather than in speech. Younger speakers almost never say it; they say typical for this time of year instead.
合時令的（不是 seasonal「季節性的」）
組成season (time of year) + -able (fit / suitable). Season came into English from Old French saison, from a Latin word about planting; -able is from Latin -ābilis.
