Since moving to Malta I’ve realised just how much the weather seems to affect people’s personalities. Ie. When there is a storm coming it’s virtually a hot pot for arguments to arise. When there’s a mist in the air people seem to feel heavy in their thoughts.

According to writings wherever you are in the world good weather means that spiders are more active and birds fly higher in the sky.

No matter what’s happening outside the door I like to think we all still have free will and control over our outlook on life.

Do you notice changes in people’s behaviour – in fact as the colder season sets in more and more will probably be more inclined to direct their thoughts of attracting a loved one to snuggle up on the couch with.

How true is this?

Could be although the crankiness may be down to the anticipation of what's to come.

When there's a mist we are never quite sure what's going to follow.

Well, fog, rain, wind or sun, the weather in Malta is always entertaining, because it's a maritime climate...it's like a woman, always changing her outlook, up, down and all around, but we love her irrespective of her moods....laugh

Here's to men - wine

Rarely changing their outlook, confusing as hell to most women unless you read Mars and Venus, but always entertaining. Hoorah. peace

To be honest, the weather does effect me. In summer I live, in winter, well I just exist!!

Don't know if you ever heard of it, there a syndrome called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It effects people in various ways, one of them being that one has to get some sunlight.

If you like more info about it, do a google for 'sad syndrome'.

Personally, if I don't get any sunlight my mood would be a bit gloomy. What I really hate is having something around 4 or 5 days of overcast weather. The cherry on the cake would be having rain, wind and a thunderstorm all incorporated into any of these days!! sigh

Si... I know about SAD.

Quite a few people back in sunny UK claim to under it's spell in the non summer months.

Their quick cure is to top up on the UV rays but popping themselves under a sunbed.

I think merely existing is not advisable, the days that are cloudy are still also the present ! roll eyes

In your last sentence you're right, I still have to get trough them whether I like it or not. frustrated

Well, I'm already awaiting March, as the weather will start improving and we move the time an hour ahead, thus we get longer days!! yay

Regarding the UV rays, I never tried out sunbeds, and don't think that I ever will. The thing is that in summer you won't find me on the beach sunbathing for a whole day. Just 5 minutes in the sun is enough, as this recharges my batteries.

Once I read an article about a lamp which is used to remedy this syndrome, but was never able to find the lamp in question on sale locally. The problem is that now I forgot its make and model.

Well, a google search won't hurt, so of I go to look for it!! super

Here in the sunny south of a Spain when it,s windy lots of people go loopy, how wierd is that! Didn,t believe it myself til it got windy. Can,t explain exactly what it feels like except it,s a bit like being out of yourself. Down in Tarifa, where it,s wind heaven, the place is full of windblown cranks. Most of them take up kite surfing, that,s what I did,
doesn,t help of course, just scares the s?!t of you. Bit draughty round here today so I,ll have to go take something for it.

I've witnessed people going a bit loopy over here so know exactly what you mean.

I myself don't mind a bit of wind and rain, I am probably more active during the winter months as it's a great time to wrap up and go walking.
