AirTalk

Do April showers make you feel dour


Listen Later

The weather has been playing with hearts here in LA. There was one week in April that teased us with some warm sunshine, but just as soon as we all reached for our sunblock and shorts, last week rolled in with dreary clouds and a chilly breeze. With all the back and forth, it's hard to keep your mood up. We all know that weather impacts our mental health. Waking up to clear skies and a shining sun can set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Everything seems brighter. But cloud cover with zero chance of rain can have you feeling that there is no point getting out of bed. Today on AirTalk, we hear from listeners about how the weather impacts their moods. Also joining us is Kim Meidenbauer, assistant professor of psychology at Washington State University. Are you happy and more productive when the sun is shining? Or does it make you not want to go to work at all? Do you embrace the rain and seize the day even when the sky is grey? Or feel melancholy as the clouds hang overhead? We want to hear from you! Give us a call at 866-893-5722. Or email us at [email protected].
