Do you notice if your mood is like the weather outside?

Yes and no...does that make sense?

Edit: sounds kind of...I don't want to say bipolar...may "dual-polar". I get to be dual-polar as I am a Gemini.

The snowfall today was fun and uplifting, but sometimes the dark overcast and cold dampens my mood. I'm usually in a feel-good state during the summer, or any day at 75F or better...

You know, sometimes I do wish to be "less weather sensitive" than I am. Love the hot summers, hey, got AC...but when the weather gets cold and cloudy sometimes that really can do me in...lol.
Luckily we live where we have short winters with no snow or ice. Guess I'm "right weather greedy".

Same here. After I retired and was no longer traveling I bought a light therapy contraption because I was afraid rainy days and winter would get me down, but we actually have so many days of sun in TX it hasn't been an issue. Even when it is miserably hot outside I'm still in a better mood than during a few days of winter.

Yes. When it's cloudy and rainy and gloomy, I tend to stay indoors and hibernate.
The rain has stopped for now and the sun is shining, so I'm preparing for my errands that I have to get out and do today. Got my list of things ready.

So, I headed out in the sunshine towards our family bakery downtown. While driving I see this massive gray cloud looming over yonder. About a block or 2 from the bakery it starts raining w/little hailstones hitting my car and windshield. I'm freaking out.....there's also lightning and thunder happening. I'm OMGing in my car outloud to myself lol. I finally reached my destination, and as I'm approaching the door it's still raining and hailing, my brother is inside holding the door shut so I can't get in. I have to admit it was kinda funny.

He told me I had about a handful of hailstones in the hood of my hoodie. I had to sit in my car for about 5 mins waiting for things to die down and un fog my windows before I could leave. My little Beetle took quite a beating. Whew. .......what a day. I guess Mother Nature had a lot of cleansing to do today.

Last couple of days, it has snowed in April!!!!! It's been overcast snow/rain, cold and foggy. I'm cranky, disinterested in things, and have a sore ear. Somehow the weather wasn't such a factor when I was working.

We have an arctic front coming down the coast bringing chill and rain. We rarely get interesting clouds around here but lately we have some at least. Took this shot this morning at our favorite bayside dog park. The park is built over an old landfill, not much to see but good enough for the dogs to chase each other around or fetch a ball or even take a swim in the bay.

Prefer rainy/snowy weather. Sunny is ok sometimes but usually the hot sun brings out noise - kids playing, lawnmowers, loud music playing, BBQs with people partying - I can do without thank you very much, I hate noise, I love the
quiet.

It isn't so much the weather, but the combination of time of year and weather.

For example, it has been raining, which in autumn and winter is a misery, but in spring, it brings life.

Since childhood I've been able to tell when the barometric pressure drops sharpy. I get a sort of an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's not problematic . . . it just IS.

 

[Widow of Vietnam Vet]

I, too, am affected by the barometric pressure and also a friend of mine is, too.

It does have an affect on our mood.

 

[hearlady]

I don't think it changes my mood. It does change my chore list.

Are you saying I am responsible for the weather? Gee, I did not think I was that powerful? I’ve been exercising..
