Of course.
In the winter, they're all in their houses.
Oh, of couse, they haven't got houses. (yeah right)

Yes... Unfortunately, the science of counting homeless people is iniexact. The first nationwide study was completed as described under sources. Some cities track this information. In Seattle, the cost of housing continues to rise fast, leaving many people without homes.
The following is extracted from :

“In the last 12 to 18 months, the homeless population has essentially exploded in Philadelphia,” said Marsha Cohen, executive director of the Homeless Advocacy Project, which provides free legal services to the homeless in Philadelphia. “We are seeing big increases in singles and families, both on the street and attempting to enter the homeless system.”

That makes sense, due to the weather. Winter or poor weather isn't conducive to hanging out on the street and begging. I would imagine they spend the less appealing (weather) times of year in whatever shelter they can find.

Yes when the weather gets better they like to be out more. Makes sense if you think about it but it is not to my liking even though some can not help the status they are in.

No beggars in my area, but its probably because it is warmer.

I wouldn't be surprised if more of them were present in the summer. It's warmer in the summer.

Yes, more people are out so they have a better chance of getting more money.

It's warmer and sunnier. They aren't seeking shelter. So, yes.
