Change the temperature, change the mood!

Sometimes when you leave the freezing cold weather behind and have a vacation in a warmer climate it has such an effect on the mood and mental outlook. Noticed this phenomenon on more than one occasion. I am a real summer baby! Does climate change have any effect on anyone else around here?

Lots of local older residents up sticks and move north during our winter. We call them 'grey nomads'. They might spend 2 or 3 months away and return when the weather starts to warm up again.

@dianadee And I think in the USA they're snow birds or something like that.

Sometimes I get sick because of changes in the weather.

I feel the negative effect when it is very old at night and put too many blankets on me. Then have to throw them off in the middle of the night. Sometimes get a cold from the fluctuation in temperature.

It usually does not effect me that much, but I also live in California. The only time I might catch a cold is when it is 85 in the day then drops to 38 at night which happens a few times a year here.

I like the warmer weather as well but not like it has been it's a little too hot especially with the humidty. I like it when its around 70's to low 80's with low humidity would be nice.

I know that high humidity can be uncomfortable. I make sure that I have light cotton clothing and a good wide brimmed hat. Plenty of sunscreen too.
