Or common factors.

In this case, I think it's probably enough to point out it's the first
Tuesday of the fiscal year.  For a 24x7 organization, early Tuesday
morning is a good time to do updates; you have support staff available
for the rest of the week if anything goes wrong, you can do final
planning, checks, and preparation during the day Monday, and it's
usually one of the lowest usage times.
