Best Answer

The process that causes ozone depletion works best at low temperatures. There is a naturally ocurring polar vortex that traps super cold air in the upper atmosphere over Antarctica. This vortex is strongest in the winter and largely dissapears in the summer. This means that the hole is largest and most prevalent during the winter.
