Why should believers pray for their flight to take place in summer and not on the Sabbath?

Matthieu 24:20 (NEG79)

20 Priez pour que votre fuite n'arrive pas en hiver, ni un jour de sabbat.

Winter and Sabbath regulations would make flight difficult. In Palestine, winter meant a scarcity of food and swollen rivers that are difficult to cross. The restrictive Sabbath laws of the Pharisees would also make it hard to flee on the Sabbath.
