We often use weather language to describe how we feel. For example, if we are feeling ill, we say we are "under the weather". If we are feeling stressed and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under". We use “bad" weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad mood, and “good" weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good mood.

And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin D. This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel unusually sad then. However, when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily too! Scientists are still studying how the weather changes the way people feel and behave.
