Is your mood affected by the weather?

Warm weather suits me down to the ground. It's the cold that I can't tolerate, it makes me want to cry if I'm out in it. I get so cold from head to toe that I don't function properly.
Darker nights are a downer for me too.

I hate being cold these days. I remember going on holiday to Cyprus one year and feeling 10 years younger. I didn’t mind the winter when I could go to the sauna and miss that terribly. Sometimes I have to have a hot bath to get going. Perhaps I’m turning into a reptile? Mind you, don’t like being too hot, either....

I am always happier when it's sunny and warm. My mood dips when it's not.

I get a headache when it's going to rain, and I definitely need regular doses of sun hence my move to Spain 30 years ago

I am loving this weather, but I do not like winter. What I really hate is a cold rainy summer. That really gets me down in fact I do not go out at all when it is like that.

Oh most definitely, you can decide what you will do with your day. Sunshine on your face, heat in your bones and a lovely walk with the dog. What a tonic! Rainy, dreary days just bring your mood down.

Definitely affected by the weather, well the clouds... if dull, dull, and grey and overcast.. such a down mood... not keen, ie. I don`t like the heat, hot hot sun... and the brilliant sun gives me migraines..

this weather, despite the bright sun, (wearing sunglasses) find the air , chill, so despite the heat of the sun, the cool air is better for me.

The weather certainly affects my mood. I particularly detest grey skies and drizzly rain. Give me a warm, sunny spring day any time.

A bright sunny warm morning does help my mood, when I was younger I used to love hot weather and could cope better than most but not nowadays. Another thing to do with age? I don’t particularly like the cold either, and dark so early, rain and grey skies do make depressed. So yes I am affected by the weather.

I absolutely agree with you, Gingster. It’s the still days with low cloud that almost seems to be sitting on your head that bring me down. That and excessive heat. About 24 degrees is as hot as I want it to be.

Feel.very sluggish in hot damp weather usually in July, what my Gran called the dog days. Something to do with the stars, canis or something, I believe. Wondering if this rings bells with anyone else.

I'm much happier in hot sunny weather. While sitting in the sun all my winter aches and pains seem to disappear.

I'm quite miserable during the cold, short, black winter days. I'd hibernate if I could. ?

Yes definitely
I hate windy days...makes me feel quite anxious
Warmer weather slows me down ..
Dark cold days are me a bit sad..
A cold bright day is the best..makes me very busy.. I get lots down ??

Migraine in stormy thundery weather!!

I greatly prefer warm, sunny weather to most other kinds of weather.

However, I grew up in the west of Scotland where warm sunny weather is rare. I learned as a child that allowing the weather to affect you was silly, as we cannot control it.

I realise there are various disorders that cannot just be "controlled", but I am thankful to the adults who taught us not to complain about the weather, but to dress to suit it.

And now, I shall duck behind some large piece of furniture.

Adore spring weather when it is cool and bright, so invigorating and beautiful. Loathe summer weather with hot, humid and relentless sun and heat. Hate summer clothes which seem so boring compared to other seasons. Love autumn crispness and the smell and sensation of falling leaves. Adore magical snowy days. I suppose it does affect my mood.

Absolutely- I have always been a sun worshipper & I love really hot summer days.
I do like snow too but rainy or dull days leave me feeling very low.

I do suffer from SAD. I dread the dark nights coming along and it's got worse with my age.

Like spring and autumn best I can feel low on dark drizzly days ?

Dull days definitely make me lethargic unmotivated and miserable. As soon as I see sun, even on a cold day I feel much better

I like all kinds of weather, but I am happiest when it is raining, I just love the rain and the sound it makes on our tin roof. (i am from Australia and some of us have tin roofs)
I love storms as well, thunder and lightning, I love the smell of storms. Storms at night are especially good as I always sleep better then.

In common with other posters, grey days make me miserable. Blue skies and sunshine are fine, and I don't mind bright winter days. It's just the grey days that get to me!

Warm and sunny for me. I like hot weather but not too hot.

It’s lovely not to be bundled up with layers of clothing,

The sun on my face, gorgeous,

I much prefer spring to the dark days of winter (maybe something to do with being a spring baby?)

Although I am always pleased to see winter sun, I hate driving in low sun and prefer dull days.

Now its spring, I am much happier driving on sunny days.

I hate being cold, due to bad circulation.
My feet, hands and even my nose is quite often cold in the height of summer.

I think I must have been a lizard in a previous life, I gravitate towards anything that is warm and sunny.
Sun on my back is sheer bliss.

Lots more energy when the sun is shining, I just want to be out and about keeping busy, dull days makes me feel lethargic.
