On sunnier days, I seem to be more of a productive, positive, and overall happier person whereas on colder, rainier days I become less interested in making plans with people and prefer to be alone. Shutterstock They say that April showers bring May flowers but they may also bring a funky mood. In conclusion, while weather may not pose much of an impact on certain people, it definitely has an effect on most individuals, myself included. The impact that weather has also depends on someone’s “weather personality type.” For example, people that love the summer tend to be happier and more carefree on sunny days while people that do not like the summer tend to be more upset and angry on warm days. You would think that the cold weather and lack of sunlight would cause more people to commit suicide in the winter but it is actually the opposite way around. Ironically, it was also found that suicide rates are higher in the spring and summertime. A study conducted by researcher Marie Connolly found that women felt more satisfied with their life on cooler days with no rain rather than hotter days with rain. Research has also found that heat and rain cause people to become more aggressive. Maintaining a regular schedule, especially when it comes to sleep, plays a key role in helping overcome SAD. Women suffer from SAD up to three times more than men. While most people experience SAD during the colder months of the year, there are certain people that even experience it when the weather is warm. A depressive disorder called seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is when a person’s depression is linked to the change in seasons. While higher temperatures bring a “low” person up, conditions such as the wind or lack of sun can make a sad person even more upset. Research has found that weather impacts people’s negative moods more than their positive moods. So how exactly does the weather affect our mood? Does the cold weather make us depressed? Does the sun make us happier human beings? The rain always seems to take a toll on our happiness in a negative way while the sun typically puts us in a better mood. ![]() I simply want to stay in bed and watch a movie instead of doing something more exciting. It seems as though whenever it’s rainy or cloudy I do not feel as energetic or motivated to do anything. ![]()
