Hi
I read your post.
You said you haven't been diagnosed for very long which means you might have been on a medication and the dosage may need to be changed or even a new medication may need to be added. There are generally reasons for having seizures, Understand weather may not cause the seizures but what is in the air causes different things to happen. IN spring people get hay fever. Well they also get it in fall becasue of other plants which grow better in colder weather.
you might want to check with your neuro and ask him this question or just explain you are having more seizures and you would like to know why?
I would give mine a call and leafe a message or question. I know I will get an answer from his assistant or him.

Yea, I had a head injury when I was two. Ended up having a subdural hematoma. Had a lot of problems in school growing up they thought I had a learning disability, it wasn't until about a year to a year in a half ago that things started to get strange and then in January I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I was told that I have probably been having seizures my entire life.
