interesting question. I know of no data on this but you can track this yourself. Measure weight in the nude every day to nearest gm you can. And measure height every day to nearest mm without shoes. Plot daily and see on yourself. Go to pubmed.gov and search the world lit. Enter growth rate AND season to see if anyone one studied this well.
