What effect does the weather have on people's (community's) lives?
The influence of weather on people:

Meteorological conditions are an important element of human living environment. Meteorological conditions and their changes not only affect people's health, but also have a very obvious impact on people's psychology and emotions. Favorable meteorological conditions can make people feel high and comfortable, improve their quality of life and work efficiency; Unfavorable meteorological conditions make people depressed, depressed, lazy, weak, and even lead to mental illness and abnormal behavior.

Research shows that high temperature, high humidity, rainy weather and some abnormal weather events are not conducive to people's mental health. According to a data of the World Health Organization, the "El Ni? o phenomenon" from 1982 to 1983 caused about 654.38+million people to suffer from depression, the incidence of mental illness increased by 8%, and traffic accidents increased by at least 5,000 times. The reason is that El Nino, an abnormal meteorological change, has caused global climate anomalies and weather disasters, which has exceeded the psychological endurance of some people, leading to fidgeting, mental retardation and other diseases, and people with weak will may even cry hysterically. Generally speaking, the low temperature environment is conducive to the formation of a good mental state, while when the temperature is high or rising, people's mental state is prone to fluctuations and abnormalities. Psychologists have found that when the temperature is high or warm current invades, mental patients will get up and wander, can't sleep, yell, swear and obviously throw things, and normal people will also have different emotional changes. Because high temperature is not conducive to people's mental health, the crime rate in high temperature environment is relatively high. On the eve of the Olympic Games, the American police appointed experts to conduct a detailed study, and found that the total number of crimes in Atlanta increased with the increase of temperature every day, with the highest crime rate in June and July, just during which the Olympic Games were held. In order to alleviate people's fears, the head of the Olympic Organizing Committee lied that the summer temperature in Atlanta did not exceed 30℃.

There is an old saying: "Dizzy, frustrating." It means that in the rainy season, people are lazy and unhappy. Through in-depth research, Chinese medical meteorologists found that rainy weather affects people's mental health mainly because the light in rainy weather is weak and the human body secretes more pineal hormones, so the secretion concentration of thyroxine and adrenaline is relatively reduced, and people's nerve cells are therefore "lazy" and become less "active", and people will become listless.

The influence of meteorological conditions on mental health has attracted great attention from psychologists, behaviorists and management scientists. Some countries publish weather forecasts, as well as physical and psychological diseases that may be caused by future weather, as well as suggestions on disease prevention measures that "adapt to the weather".
