Sources of emotions and moods: weather

When do you think you would be in a better mood - when it's 25 degrees celsius and sunny, or on a gloomy, cold, rainy day?

Many people believe their mood is tied to the weather. However, a fairly large and detailed body of evidence conducted by multiple researchers suggests weather has little effect on mood, at least for most people.

Illusory correlation: occurs when we associate two events that in reality have no connection, explains why people tend to think nice weather improves their mood.
