If radioactive decay is 'random', then how can we explain the fact that it varies during the course of a year?

Radioactive decay is not random, it is probabilistic. They are different concepts. We can say what is the probability of decay happening, but we can not be sure that it will happen. The probability of the decay is determined, but the exact when the decay will happen is not.
