Note: The storms from the Iron Islands would feed the Trident and the storms from the Stormlands would feed the Reach fluvial rivers. The western one is pushed in the wrong direction by the more powerful hot stream from the south.

I always imagined Westeros being located on a planet with a very steep, unstable rotational angle compared to it's trajectory. That compared with a very elliptical orbit would give the weird seasons we know from the books.
