When to cut/bulk

Heard of the 10% BF bulk and 15% BF cut rule.
But where I live there's only about a 3-4 month summer, rest of time is sweatshirts and jumpers, so doesn't seem much point cutting as much
But now going over the 15% BF and wondering how many months a year I might be 'overweight' and unhealthy - health being main reason doing this
Maybe a 'slow' bulk? Currently 2kg/month
Or should I be yo yoing?
How many months do people generally bulk/cut for?

In a perfect world, I'd be bulking for about 3/4 of the year. Reason being that LBM gains are a lot slower than fat losses. I'm the opposite though and have about 3-4months of "winter". LBM gains will depend on training experience as well though. I just bulk until I'm unhappy with how my clothes are fitting and then start to cut again.0
