• Faster than sending a letter or fax.
• Environmentally friendly.
Have you ever wondered if the weather affects your mood and behaviour? If you have, then you're right! The way you think and feel can actually change depending on the weather.
Many people complain of feeling `down' or having `the blues' in winter. This may be because there isn't as much sunshine in the winter and our brains respond to natural light. In Britain, for example, many people suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) which makes them tired and bad-tempered because there is little sunlight in the often grey and cloudy United Kingdom.
Of course, we all know that a bright, sunny day can make us really cheerful and put us in a good mood. In New York City, however, the police blame hot weather for rises in crime. During heatwaves in the summer crime levels can rise as people get angry and aggressive because of the change in temperature.
Some scientists have discovered that low air pressure can cause people to have problems concentrating and make them forgetful. So, if you're the kind of person that's always forgetting where you left your house keys, blame it on the weather!
What about the wind? Does it drive you mad? It actually could be making you crazy! Strong and constant winds really can get to you. Children tend to be more troublesome in school and behave badly when it's windy. Another result of windy weather is that there are more traffic accidents. Therefore you should also take extra care while driving.
So, next time you watch the weather report it could even predict your mood for the day!
