Seasonable-occurring in good or proper time

seasonable

1 : suitable to the season or circumstances : TIMELY a seasonable frost
2 : occurring in good or proper time : OPPORTUNE a seasonable time for discussion
[M-W's Col. Dic.]

"occurring in good or proper time" - The preposition "in" seems awkward to me, so I would have used "at" instead. What is your thinking on this? How would the use of "at" alter the meaning? Please guide me. Thanks.
