ANGRY, SAD, HAPPY? BLAME THE WEATHER

Sunshine makes you more sociable, humidity brings on depression, says an expert who tells how climate affects health and moods.

We know that the weather has an effect on certain diseases such as arthritis and heart disorders. Weather is also associated with emotional problems and disturbed behaviour.

Temperature is the most important factor. More psychiatric emergencies and admissions to mental hospitals are noticed during summer. Part of this is because the days are longer in summer and people stay out later. We have found that heat is a most important factor in the increase of emotional problems.

Humidity has much effect on individuals too. More people who are diagnosed as depressed are admitted to mental hospitals on humid days.

Changes in atmospheric pressure play a role in a number of health problems. Barometric pressure tends to have more effect on joints. Lower barometric pressure has been linked with anxiety and restlessness. When the barometric pressure goes up sharply, people have more arthritic symptoms. This is true to a lesser degree when the barometric pressure falls. Extreme temperatures, especially very cold weather, put added strain on the cardiovascular system. Death rates from heart attacks are much higher during the winter months than at any other time. When the temperature is very low, blood rushes away from the skin to the interior, of the body. The heart has to pump harder to keep the body warm. In warm weather, some weather conditions make a person much more susceptible to communicable diseases as malaria. Colds and respiratory illnesses are more. Common in winter because low temperatures weaken the body's resistance to disease.

Interestingly, a recent study from a sleep-research laboratory found that people are sleepier when the barometric pressure is either well above or below normal — but no one knows why.
