Do you feel like going out on sunny days but want to stay in bed on rainy days? You’re not the only one. The weather can affect how we feel very much.
On sunny days, sunlight helps our bodies make vitamin D(维生素 D). It also tells our brain to make more serotonin(血清素). This makes us feel full of energy and focused.
On rainy days, however, things work differently. When there is little light, our brain makes more melatonin(褪黑素). It can make us feel sleepy. When it rains, we often feel sad too. But some people love rainy days. They think the sound of rain helps them relax.
Snowy days bring different feelings too. Many children can’t wait for the snow. When it finally comes, they rush outside to build snowmen, though it’s cold. For others, heavy snow is beautiful but can make life hard.
Terrible weather can also change how we feel. When it gets very hot, we may feel angry easily. Storms can make us feel scared.
The good news is that we can learn to manage(管理) our feelings. For example, on rainy days, we can turn on bright lights. Once we know how the weather affects us, we can take small steps to keep happy.
