In an agrarian economy people are definitely much MORE attuned to the cycles of the seasons. If your town always starts planting crop X two weeks before the solstice, and the harvest festival is the week after the equinox, you’re going to keep track of these things.
I think that when OP said "When would you notice" they meant you the reader in contemporary times, to draw attention to the high level of attunement you're referring to
