A new study in the journal of Emotion found that, in fact, for many of us the weather does affect our mood.
MSNBC.com comments on the study reporting that researchers examined adolescents and their mothers and out of 500 participants found that indeed there was a “Summer Loving” group that appeared happier and less fearful on hotter days and more anxious on cooler ones. In contrast there was also a “Summer Hating” group that felt most comfortable and less angry or fearful on days with more hours of precipitation.
