Sunlight has an affect on your energy

Your body often responds to cold weather by slowing down and "hibernating," which causes you to have
less energy throughout the winter. Your energy and attitude can both be improved by warmer weather,
but only up to a threshold of 70°F (21°C). You can then start to feel worn out and want to get out of the
heat.

Sunlight has an affect on your energy levels as well. Light instructs your circadian clock to stay awake,
while darkness instructs your brain to go to sleep. In other words, lengthy, sunny days might make you
feel energised. However, there is less light on short or overcast days to keep you awake, so you can feel
sleepier than normal.

Stress

If you've ever felt jittery or nervous before a storm, it was probably just your body alerting you to a
reduction in air pressure. 2019 animal research According to a reliable source, changes in air pressure
may cause your brain's superior vestibular nucleus (SVN), which regulates balance and perception, to
become active. Although mice were used in this investigation, SVNs also exist in people.

According to the study's authors, SVN may agitate your body's stress response prior to a storm, putting
you on edge. Circulating stress hormones may also make your nerve endings more sensitive, which may
be why some people have flare-ups of chronic pain during periods of low air pressure.

Stress levels may also rise as a result of high temperatures. Older studies indicate that people have a
tendency to be more irritated or even hostile.

When the weather changes, it can be a lovely change of pace or can be desperately required, like when
it rains during a drought.

The weather might be annoying at other times. You can be negatively affected by extended periods of
heat and humidity, as well as by endless days of rain and icy temperatures in the winter.

Unfavorable weather that persists might hamper outdoor activities, make travel difficult, and, quite
frankly, seem like it's beginning to have an impact on your general wellbeing.

So what's going on? Is it possible for the weather to genuinely alter your mood, or is it all in your head?
It's unclear how the weather affects how you feel.

If you're wondering whether the weather may effect your mood scientifically, well.

While some scientific research comes to the conclusion that the weather and mood are related, not all
studies clearly identify a correlation.

For instance, a 2008 study discovered that the weather had almost little impact on good mood. Or, to
put it another way, sunshine and warmer weather didn't make a happy person happier. However, the
study did discover that weather factors like temperature, wind, and sunshine might have a very small
but significant influence on unpleasant emotions like fatigue.

It's also crucial to remember that although the 2005 study described above showed reveal a connection
between time spent outside in nice weather and increased mood, the benefit wasn't always strong. In
actuality, the impact was rather minimal.

Exists a weather kind for everyone of us?

The idea that everyone of us is impacted by the weather differently has historical support.

Consider seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is characterised by severe mood swings brought on by
the changing of the seasons. The most well-known instance is winter SAD, sometimes known as the
"winter blues," which is a melancholy mood experienced only during the winter's shorter days.

SAD is a very uncommon mood illness, with just around 6% of the population having been diagnosed.
The National Institute of Mental Health hypothesises that this condition, particularly its milder variants,
is actually considerably more widespread.

And according to a 2011 research, the weather may — for some people — have an impact on mood.
