Arab Weather - Modern science has proven that there is a relationship between human mood changes and the seasons, through numerous studies of human behavior, in which people differ from one another in their interactions and responses to weather conditions.

Human feelings change with changing weather conditions.

Many people feel sad, to the point of depression, when snow falls and thunderstorms hit during the winter, especially in Scandinavia and Norway, where daylight hours are significantly shorter and people are less exposed to the sun, which is obscured by clouds for months at a time. This can drive some to suicide, despite the affluent lifestyles enjoyed in these wealthy countries. Meanwhile, in other countries, joy and happiness abound with the arrival of winter, with people not hesitating to go out to run and play in the harsh winter weather.

Crime rates and violence increase in communities when temperatures rise significantly during the summer. The scientific explanation for this is that people experience shortness of breath in hot weather due to the separation of oxygen atoms in the air, causing them to breathe abnormally, leading to stress and agitation that manifests in their behavior.

Spring is the best season psychologically

Spring is the best season from a psychological perspective, as the daylight hours increase, which invigorates the soul and brings vitality. More trees bloom, creating bright colors that have a positive effect on the human body.

As autumn approaches, when sunlight decreases and people are exposed to less sunlight, some people experience seasonal depression. Women are more susceptible to seasonal depression than men due to hormonal changes and a decrease in estrogen. Symptoms include low mood (sadness), lethargy, a desire for isolation, and sleep disturbances.

As for the variation in moods associated with the weather, some energy specialists believe that the changes in a person's mood and psychological state depending on the weather are linked to the time of birth. For those born when the sun is shining, the sun remains a source of energy and life, while the opposite is true for those born at night. In addition, a person's psychological state is affected by internal radiation, which can be either repulsive or attractive, affecting a person's mood, psychology, and even clothing. The energy of the sun is a very strong and burning masculine energy, while the energy of the night is a calm, feminine one.
