Target Australia will not be employing a specialised climatic group.
However, Target spokesman Daniel Ellis said: "Climate change is placing challenges on the traditional timing associated with seasonal releases.
"We know there are various climates across Australia at any given time and we are spending more time and effort looking at how we can ensure the right product is in the right stores throughout the year."
This year's late arrival of winter saw many Adelaide retailers struggle to sell stock. State Retail Association executive director John Brownsea said enlisting the help of weather experts "wasn't a bad idea".
"If a season is six weeks late retailers can lose a lot of money waiting for the billions of dollars of stock to be shifted," he said.
Designer Melanie Garland, of local label Little Potty Red Shoes, said she was changing her range.
"We are now doing only four coats, one pant and one or two knits in the next winter range. The rest has to be trans-seasonal to sell," she said.
