Does weather influence your mood?

China

Some people have a thing called weather depression or weather excitement where for example, during the cloudy days they are depressed throughout that whole time because of the lack of sunshine but they get better when the light comes again. It's sort of raining outside and I like it so much. Some people told me they confused a lot about my little hobby at this point. Anyway, For I see,there is a beauty of changing scale as the rain drops each time. However, I don't like the thunderstorm. haha What about you?

there is undeniably something about the weather that affects everyone's mood. Me, contrary to a greater number leaning towards sunshine, I like the rain. I like the feel of the air coming out as soon as the raindrops touch the ground. The sound of the rain makes me feel at ease feeling a sense tranquility. And, the air is cool when there is rain making me pleased.

The weather does affect my mood. If it is a raining cloudy day then I am kind of depressed and dont want to go to work or do anything. Now if it is sunny outside then it just kind of energizes me and I have a better day then when it is raining out.

When it's raining, I don't have to wear some sun cream. It would facilitate matters. haha

I think the weather sometimes influences my mood. I know someone who has SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), and she struggles greatly during the winter months. There are treatments, although to us they probably sound weird. The heat right now is getting to me. I think it makes me a bit grouchy!

We had a tornado touch down here about two miles from me last night. It was a very mild tornado, a few houses were destroyed, but no one was killed. The heat is bad right now, but the humidity is what is killing me. It's also what contributes to tornado weather.

The heat right now is getting to me too. But we can make full use of the airconditioner. However, to be honest, I don't really like it when the airconditioner is on.

no weather doesnt have much of an effect on me... but i believe that when i am sad, i feel a lil better when the weather is cloudy.. makes me feel as if nature is empathizing with me.. Similarly when it is raining and weather is pleasant, i feel in a highly romantic mood..

I love the rain, especially thunderstorms. (Of course, thunderstorms usually put me to sleep). I generally try to be in a good mood all the time, but I do not like the heat at all, a pleasant 50 or 60 all year long would make me very happy. I also always get excited when it snows.

I miss getting a lot of snow in the winter. I was born in Alaska, and we spent a lot of time moving between Alaska and here (Missouri), I was always complaining about there not being enough snow here.

Hi, Yes weather influence my mood and my condition as well. I usually get really bad headaches and fatigue. Mostly when it's raining and also cloudy day. I also feel dazed for rainy and cloudy days. I don't want to be controled by weather but I also know that some people have a problem with weather and when I talked to the doctor she said I probably am an one of them. By the way I love thunderstorm. lol

Yes, of course the weather influence me to an extent. On rainy days, I feel very lazy and sometiems get leave from office. I love to be lazy sleeping with a blanket on during those days. I don't like thunderstorm also. I hate summer season. It makes me restless. I like cold season too, It also makes me lazy.

During the summer, its' pretty hot! Also, I don't like to have the airconditioner on! So, I sort of dislike summer weather too.

Hi there, The famous English poet Keats had once written '...nothing clears my mood like a sunny day...' Perhaps more or less every one is influenced by weather. And as for me I like rainy weather more than scorching sunny day. May be I differ with Keats as our sun is much stronger than theirs. And yes, cloudy day during winter is something disgusting. I feel as if life has come to a halt.

Yeah, the poet is just the poet himself. Lots of us are quite different from him, that's for sure! haha

Obviously the weather influence my mood. The clear and bright sky makes my mood happy, the cloudy weather guides me to read books in home. I like the sunny day.

I like the rain and sometimes I do get depressed whe it rains. It depends if something negative happens to me that day or if I remember something that hurts me. Whe I was small I loved to run in the rain just to feel the rain drops all over me because I was told by my great grandma that they were tears of happines from God and all the angles. So I imagend that those happy tear would make me be happier.

Oh definitely. If it's rainy and dreary outside, I am usually in a depressive mood and irritable. When it's pretty and sunny out, I'm usually cheerful. I'm like you though, i hate thunderstorms too. The thunder freaks me out. The really loud, booming thunder anyway.

Sometimes, whether influence my mood. If i plan to stay inside the house for the whole day, then it does not matter if it rains hard. But if i have an scheduled meeting outside, then both rain and extreme sunshine irritate me a lot.

Ah,if someone was out all day in the rain, this will bring on a bad cold to them. However, I suppose it doesn't matter to me!

Yes, there are times that the weather changes my mood. Raining is fine but I hate the stormy days, I am not motivated to go out and do some interesting activities. Rainy days is fine if I want to spend the whole day at home with my bf and just do nothing but to cuddle each other. I like the sunny and cloudy weather, I like going out and walking... doing some adventurous activities and meeting friends.

When the sun is shining I have a ton of energy.....when it's raining out I have different things I like to do inside....but I do feel a bit more tired when it's cloudy..not as much energy!

People get tired in the cloudy days are just involuntary responses. It doesn't mean that the thing will influence the mood. :D

Hi hiddenwing, I have never liked rain except at night when I'm going to sleep. Rain during the day depresses me for some reason. I always feel best when it's sunny. Blessings.

Rain does help me sleep well. I like the sounds of the drops. It's one kind of the nature music. Have a great day!

Thunderstorms causing severe flooding have occurred a couple hundred miles north of here. This has made me sad for the people involved in the floods and sad for us because we are having a drought. The lack of sunshine affects my husband more than it does me because I can always find something to keep me busy. He has no hobby except the TV. A cloudy day does affect my sense of direction, and I can easily get lost when I can't see the sun.

"A cloudy day does affect my sense of direction, and I can easily get lost when I can't see the sun. " I supposed it was just its original meaning. The sun rises in the east and sets in the south. It's definately a good direction indication. :D Take care

Yeah! Weather do affects my mod. If the climate is so sunny, I'll feel a little bit happy and brisk. If it's too dull,that is less light and high humidity, then I feel so disturbed. During rainy seasons, I always feel happy and excited. Nature is so powerful. It can do anything!

I usually feel really drained when it is raining outside. Especially if it continues the whole entire day. On those days I do not feel like getting out of bed. I literally have to coach myself to get up and go to work after I have probably hit the snooze button on the alarm two or even three times. However when the sun is shining I am at my best. I am full of energy,I am able to cook, clean, work out, you name it! However, I do like hearing the rain in the night time, it is relaxing at that point. I know that is strange, but that is just me :+)
