Weather has a well-documented impact on disposition, from glum malaise and [seasonal affective disorder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodtrack) in the winter to the vacillation between testiness and lethargy in the peak of summer. Checking the weather often becomes a proxy for those emotions as well, with forecasts of blizzards or heat waves upsetting people's delicate emotional balance quickly.
