I live in India. North India. There is no dearth of sunshine throughout the year. The Sun beats down relentlessly on you and saps your energy levels and consequently your mood. I am constantly looking towards the skies for a glimpse of a cloud or shade to improve the feel factor. There is such a thing as too much Sun. That said, every morning when i get up and see the sun rise, its a spiritually uplifting moment. Perhaps it helps in improving overall health but definitely does lift the mood in the morning.
Yes morning sun it is not the day sun arghh morning and evening. We even have a name for those times of the day sattvic hours of the day peaceful and beautiful. I take walks in the morning and evening in nature its amazing
I still recall visiting relatives in Andalucia from the December UK. Once out in the sunshine I realised that my mouth was turning up into a smile automatically. It was a strange sensation. I had not even realised I had had a miserable face on me.
It absolutely is., their is no doubt the sunshine is a cure. However their is a cost.. I believe it’s a brain tranquilizer. I think colder areas are better for brain stimulus. So a happy life, find the sun, a life of achievement. Find a four season climate.
I once spent over a year in the high desert. Rain and cloudy days was about one week total in a year. A cloudy day was a pleasant surprise. When it rained everybody came outside and danced in the rain. I learned that I liked seasons.
People who live in deserts generally enjoy rain. There's this recurring phrase in the Koran: ". . . . with green meadows and fresh running streams . . . ."
Everything in moderation and balance. Having lived in Thailand and Paraguay the sun and heat was inescapable. I live in Scotland and I appreciate the sun a lot more but also appreciate the rain which also gives us life. I think there are many many other factors that affect happiness before sun.
I absolutely agree with you my friend. I’m originally from the north eastern part of US in Pennsylvania then moved to the south in Virginia I can tell you that the weather is almost night and day but I appreciate the warmer weather in moderation. I’m definitely ready for a break from the hot summer weather in VA after the weeks long 90+ daily temperatures.
The sun is everything especially if you've been raised in a country with abundant sunshine. Ever since I've moved to the UK, I've suffered with depression, anxiety, autoimmune issues, skin issues, poor gut health, low testosterone most of which stem from lack of sunshine. When I go on a holiday to a sunny country, these issues just magically go away. I hope to move to a sunnier country but where and how LOL.
I don’t know I absolutely hate days over about 33 C. Mind you I live in an old weatherboard aluminium cladded house with no weatherboards underneath, making it unbearable in really hot weather. At least when it so cold that fog comes out of my mouth while watching telly, I can rug up.
@Mick von Bornemann I don't like hot weather so much, or cold weather. But where I live it gets very cold while the sun is still bright and out, more than 320 days a year. If I had to deal with cold and dreary at the same time it would suck. I live near Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Sun makes everything better for me. It improves my mood, increases my energy, my motivation, improves my skin. However, I really love a temperate continental climate the best. Not a hot and humid one. Probably hot and dry would be ok as well. In my country, usually we have low humidity, hot summers, temperate autumns and springs and snowy and cold winters. As an Eastern European, it took me many years to get used to the British weather, my arthritis really flared up for a few years from the humidity in UK. Also, I developed allergies which I never had before, which are indirectly related to the weather, because my autoimmune condition put my body to stress and it caused an exacerbated histamine response and certainly the windy UK doesn’t help with polen alergies.
I work at an amazon warehouse on a 10 hour shift, starting at 1:20 am. When I get to see the sun, I get happy and as I'm already halfway until the shift ends. It also lifts up my mood.
Heat 100% alleviates my chronic pain. Much less pain in hot weather, every autumn, pain flares up bad. Also, when the weather shifts quickly (from either hot to cold or cold to hot) I get sick. I really don't think these "studies" apply to everyone here. I live in Canada-very extreme weather fluctuations-sometimes 38c in summer, and -40c in winter. We had a day recently that dropped 20c in 24 hours. That is not healthy for anyone.
Seriously sunshine really helps our mood and body. Whenever winter is coming, I would feel sad. I dread winter coming. I do not like the gloom and it gets dark at 5pm. I do not enjoy the cold or wrapping myself up with so many layers of clothing. My joints ache and stiffen and my muscles tense up when it's cold. My vision gets worse in winter too. In summer when there's lots sunshine the opposite happens - happier muscles and joints and things are clearer! It’s pretty common sense - we use heat pads to alleviate pain and aches and relax sore muscles - so sunshine does similar things to our body.
I live in a cold region, a valley. Recently, I travelled to the beach and instantly felt better. No back pain, ho headaches. Was it the sun? The beach? The feeling of freedom? I don’ know, but I wish that well-being feeling lasted a bit more.
I travel from Ontario to Florida each Jan & Feb and I know that I feel really alive knowing that I have avoided the worse part of winter. As a cyclist I am in bicycle heaven.
I live in Florida and I get tired of heat. I like seasonal changes of northern border area and Canada. But too much cold and snow will get to me. It's a brief respite though.
I lived in Florida for a year and it was best year of my life. Then moved to London for 2 years, and it was tragic😢. Sunshine is super important, and it affect your mental and physical health directly. English people are rude and unfriendly in general, and I figured why as soon as I experience the weather there. Also, the food culture is horrible, there is nothing but gloomy depressed people and rain.
Well you said you lived in London...hardly English as we are in a minority there, and any English left are no doubt miserable there as they ain't truly living in a place which could be categorised as English.
It makes you feel happy if other things are in place too. Like clean water, food, shade and shelter from the sunshine or is this just about tourists and first world countries. I moved to a warmer, sunshine climate because Sunshine does make me feel fantastic. BUT only because I have the basics above.
I comment without watching video, the answer is YES. having lived in a gloomy weathered country from a tropical one. You wont notice it at first but over weeks and months of cloudy dark weather i was starting to feel down even with people around you.
Interesting! Thank you for this documentary! I just had this topic with my neighbor in northern Germany. I come from a subtropical country, where it’s most time of the year sunny and warm. At the beginning when I moved to Germany I had really headaches and depression and feeling trapped inside something grey.
I am an indoor person, not inclined to be outside. Lately I began to sit outside for an hour in afternoon, taking in sun warmth and no mosquito in February. I never have done this before. Winter Sun feels really nice.
I live in Sri Lanka and infact we face sunlight all year. And I feel so happy seeing it so I have used very less thick curtains allowing lots of sunlight to pour in. I feel hopeless when in cloudy days and so much sleepy. Rain is OK. Given there is sunlight. But cloudy rainy days I sleep cannot work🙄
Totally agreed with you especially I am originally from Malaysia but now liviing in Finland, we always move to the place with sun during the polar night season.
I get arthirits in my fingers and I agree that my mood is better when I'm in a hot country and consequently I pay less attention to the pain but, if I focus on my hands, its still there. My diet is better in hot countries and I feel that is also beneficial. Refreshingly interesting docu. I shall look out for more of these
We in India have a special prayer which is also an exercise call Surya namaskar. Meaning salutations to the sun God. 12 steps. It’s compleat full body exercise with a chant of prayer. OM surya namah. 🙏
In summer clouds give me comfort. In winter i don't mind some sunshine. I live in South Africa and our hot summers stress me out. Only cool, cloudy days and our wonderful storms make summer bearable for me.
Sunshine and a blue sky is the best anti depressant. I stayed in Morocco 🇲🇦 for 6 months. The best time of my life. Sunshine is really a great boost to health.
Living in a sunny place it’s terrible. You walk outside and it’s just bright everywhere and it never stops, you get burned and tired. Your energy is lower, and I hope to see clouds everyday. 😊
Sunshine makes me feel nostalgic about things I have never done or places I have never been to. I specifically love sunsets but sunrises make me more hopeful too 😊🫂 💐 I ❤ you, Self.
I don’t think people take in the “change of environment aspect” into the equation, after all your stress level affects you more than you think, people are more likely to engage more physical activities during warmer weather, increase mobility increase mood, so it’s a bundle of things. Not just the sunlight I think.
My favorite seasons are Fall, Spring & Winter. Summer can just go away. It's too hot, and I end up staying indoors with the AC anyway lol. My ideal year would be alternating every 2 months between Fall & Spring and Winter every 6 months for up to 1 month each time.
I live in semi-desertic climate, with episodes of droughts, and believe me: I´m far happier and more energetic when the sky is cloudy, the weather humid and rainy. 10°C is for me better than 40°C. ( 40°F , 100°F).
Autumn and light summer nicely effect on my mood. It makes me feel glad and healthy. Sunlight gets away my laziness and yawing and gives me energy and focus to perform any sort of task effectively.
Living in Singapore, Malaysia and Ireland, I would say that I detest sunshine and heat, it is making me sick. Living in Ireland is usually pleasant except the coldest month of January.I wonder if the regulations can loosen up that people who loves sunshine live in the sunshine while those who prefer cloudy starry weather get to live there without silly restrictions
Weather really makes difference. Waking up with sun is awesome. Sometimes clouds and rain can bring a well appreciated change. Gloomy for weeks in then it becomes issue. Sunny for days it becomes gloomy and dreading etc. a variety is best. Days on end same weather just nah cannot do it. It has to be different every few days because that way you appreciate every part of it
I feel like you don't even have to travel to another country to experience the effects that the weather will have on you. I live in India. During the summer I feel like my pain is cured and I am the happiest. But when the first raindrop hits the ground at monsoon, my body pain rises by 100%. It is not just the weather I feel like the temperature also has an effect on your sensation of pain and mood.
I live in Africa and I don't really understand. I have nothing else to compare to. For me the sun just burns and we are always seeking shade. Those African hutts are cool, very nice to spend the day in.
I recently travelled to Belgium form Qld Australia I froze caught the flu within a week of arriving there the whole body hurt days we're dark gloomy rain all day and freezing cold. Not a fan. In Australia I wake up early watch the sunrise and exercise this is positive start to the day 😊
However the reverse thing happens to me. I am originally from Bangladesh which exerts 6 seasons in one year, and winter, rainy and sunny seasons are the most prevalent here. I never get depressed in winter, even my motivation is triggered at this time. It's true that I become a little bit lethargic but it doesn't hamper my studies or other activities. I feel more down in summer. 🙂
Indonesian here 🖐🏼. Been living here since birth, not a fan of strong sunshine with the high humidity, it makes me high tempered and not eager to stay outside if not necessary. The extreme heat and the humidity are the cause, i have no prob with the light itself. When it is gloomy and cloudy, my mood becomes alot better, and im a happier person. Not sure if i resided in cold European cities, I only several times visiter them in autumn seasons. I know some caught winter depression.
As someone coming from Cameroon to the UK. The winter has been the most challenging thing for me 😂... its cold and the sunshine isn't like back home .I was enthusiastic and happy with the warm and sunny climate than it is here
💯 agreed 😊! Sun elevates mood warmth, happiness and personally health wise I benefit and definitely prefer warm climate, psychological well-being is way better. Health issues like Arthritis, chronic pain, lack of VitD, heart issues, blood circulation, drive sun (UV rays) energy. Some feel and deteriorates in winter season, I love the natural☀️.
I remember being super happy for no reason in the first year after I moved from Britain to Australia. But it settled down after that. There are a lot of Australians who suffer from depression as well.
This is so obvious, of course we all happier when there is sunshine. I moved to UK in my 20 ties living here now 20 years. I see lot of people with mental health issues. I figured it out that this have something to do with vit D deficiency therefore little serotonin realise
I live 200km north of Saigon, Viet Nam where you can expect the sun rises everyday. for such a beautiful day as western view, i still feel depressed sometimes. The definition of a beautiful day seems other way around, when it is cloudy and less hot with a nice breeze. that's a beautiful day to us. Camping and things can be on such those days.
BBC needs to step up on this issue not send a message to people in UK to discourage them from sunshine due to the economic scene ,yes the stories on getting backed is related to temperature but vitamin D is important for strong bones in the elderly and good for health
I hate the sun and avoid it whenever I can. It makes me feel anxious. I love cloudy days and darkness. However most of the people I know get sad when there is no sun. Sunshine makes them feel happy as they tell me this, I keep my feelings about the sun to myself.
Being indoors on a rainy day is comforting. Being outdoors on a rainy day feels dramatic. Being indoors on a sunny day I feel guilty. Being outdoors on a sunny day can be nice, but no sports (dangerous) or exercise (boring) and then there are the bugs and heat. I did not mind the lockdown at all.
I respect everything that's been said here. But as for me I couldn't hate the sun more than I already do. I am from Spain and I have been trying to run away from the sun my entire life. I lived in Iceland for a few years and when I came back to Spain I ended up buying a house in the mountains in the very north of Spain. Sunshine makes me sad and when we talk about direct exposure...it is indeed my worst enemy. But the thing is that I am not joking at all. If it hadn't been for some personal stuff in my life I would still be living in Iceland. And I must admit I was the happiest person on earth. But I understand everything said here. And I respect that :), but it doesn't work for me though.
it totally makes sense. i think we're not all the same. as humans we all have different physiological characteristics and needs. reaction to weather is for sure personal and i personally think a balance is good. i'm from Italy, but i travel to Denmark many times for study and work and most of the time people in there say to me: "wow you're so lucky down there! people must be more happy for sure with your "mediterranean" weather!!" but they probably never tried to live an entire summer with almost no rain and 38/40 C° every fuckin day. maybe you don't get depressed but you get fuckin' stressed 😆 when i'm up in Denmark during the summer, i just feel WAY more better
It appears you might have photosensitivity, an electromagnetic sensitivity which can arise when artificial EM fields and other adverse exposures play havoc with our nervous and immune systems.
I love my country but the weather is a big challenge with my health. It too hot in sunny day. I cant sleep without the air conditional, my skin itchy, my head feel like sitting in a sauna. 😞 And this year, we lost our cold winter due to climate change🥲 I really miss my cloudy and rainy day.
I live in Africa and I don't really understand. I have nothing else to compare to. For me the sun just burns and we are always seeking shade. Those African hutts are cool, very nice to spend the day in.
I live in the desert of AZ….no clouds…..6” of rain per year. The people here are distant and not friendly whereas my former home, in MI, are warmer. In fact, when the sun is like an oven, the people here are downright angry!
I think it depends. When you always have good weather you stop carrying. I think the variation is what makes it better . In Brazil I’d say that 80% of the time when you’re just going about your daily life and working, the sun is just a nuisance. After moving to Berlin I find myself looking forward sunny days in a way that I never did before.
Congratulation ! You discovered the life secret of happiness: which is that life is variable you can't be always happy neither all the time sad we had to suffer sometimes
I lived in Tropical Kerala, India, and did not see value in Sunlight till some time before. Actually, the heat and humidity was nothing to be fond of. But in the last 2 years I have been living in the UK, and I completely understand the value of Sunlight. The winter months are literally struggle for me. But the summer in UK is just the best.
I lived in Melbourne St Kilda Australia he exaggerates weather. It's beautiful. Born in Manchester UK. Lots of cloudy and rain. Now live in sunny FL. Heat is a drop too much but do love the sun
If sunshine and warm weather makes people happier and more ready to seize the day, then why aren't countries like Pakistan and Sudan not vibrant and peaceful utopias?
Mild sunshine works on personal psychology. In the above mentioned countries it's the socio-economic factors which play a role in the difficulties which they face .
I used to live in Spain for 3 years, for me Spanish weather and climate is unbearable, a lot of heat wave every year getting worse, a lot of nausea, dehydration and a high risk of heart attack and skin cancer🙃
I am come from Somalia the sune sometimes is too much special places have sea when during time summer, some place has low degree in sunny. Right now i have been living in uganda since one year, both country are different special climate. Uganda most rain than Somalia.
Countries with sunlight throughout the year are blessed. About 80% medical issues will be away. Your bills will be reduced by 80%... You cost for clothing will be reduced by 80%.... 80% of depression related mental issues won't be there. This could be one of the reasons why a country becomes the most populated country in the world.
Rjukan Norway is 2% latitude north of where I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We get lots of sunshine in winter because we are on the prairies. If you are not in a good mood, don’t blame the weather. Learn to meditate.
The sunny weather and no rainy weather is the main thing that helps me motivate to work everyday. Currently living now in Qatar all year is sunny and 0.5% of rain. Best decision so far weather wise ❤
Isn’t too hot in the Middle East ? I mean l live in neighbouring Saudi Arabia in the north which is way colder but still during the summer I suffer from the sweaty weather !
@@mz6367 it does! But i like the sunny weather everyday! I just enjoy the view when its sunny because its hyping my mood! But the heat is tough so I mostly just staying indoor all summer 😅
As someone living in a hot sunny country, I'm tired of the sun I miss winter, wind, clouds and rain Living under an average of 35° a year it's tiring of the body, your body is always fitting heat and humidity
Even if I don't go outside just seeing the sunshine through the window makes me personally much more cheerful.
yep, couldn't have agreed more 👍
Me too

@@feketestefan When its sunny out, I often feel better at work.

Sí, un sol que sea cálido y no agresivo es lo que uno desea. 😸
it does the exact opposite to me…sunny hot weather make me feel very depressed.
Same here to me!
The warm sunny weather sure makes me happy and energetic. Cold cloudy weather sure makes me depressed and tired. I agree.
I am happy the most in the summer. I get crazy moody and sad in the winter.
I work at an amazon warehouse on a 10 hour shift, starting at 1:20 am. When I get to see the sun, I get happy and as I'm already halfway until the shift ends. It also lifts up my mood.

I don’t think people take in the “change of environment aspect” into the equation, after all your stress level affects you more than you think, people are more likely to engage more physical activities during warmer weather, increase mobility increase mood, so it’s a bundle of things. Not just the sunlight I think.
My favorite seasons are Fall, Spring & Winter. Summer can just go away. It's too hot, and I end up staying indoors with the AC anyway lol. My ideal year would be alternating every 2 months between Fall & Spring and Winter every 6 months for up to 1 month each time.
I live in semi-desertic climate, with episodes of droughts, and believe me: I´m far happier and more energetic when the sky is cloudy, the weather humid and rainy. 10°C is for me better than 40°C. ( 40°F , 100°F).
Yeah babe, but we are British. People here have meltdowns when it reaches 15°
Autumn and light summer nicely effect on my mood. It makes me feel glad and healthy. Sunlight gets away my laziness and yawing and gives me energy and focus to perform any sort of task effectively.
All things in balance. I live in Texas and the 3 months of 100° F+ is paralyzing.
ผมว่ามันก็ดีกว่า การออกไปตกปลาในความมืดมิด กับเพื่อน แล้วไม่ได้ปลากับมา ถ้าหากมีแสงสว่างเราอาจได้เห็นความสวยงามของโลก หรือหนทางใหม่ๆ แม้จะออกไปสู้กับปัณหาใดๆ เราก็ยังมี่สิ่งสวยงามไห้ชื่นชมเสมอ ♡
Sun shine makes me happy 😃
Especially in england where sunshine isn’t present lol
@Luke_Tells it’s going to be sunny here in New York today I work outside so I love the summer don’t like the winter.
@Luke_Tells.
Really 😊
Me too 😉😋😊😍
Living in Singapore, Malaysia and Ireland, I would say that I detest sunshine and heat, it is making me sick. Living in Ireland is usually pleasant except the coldest month of January.I wonder if the regulations can loosen up that people who loves sunshine live in the sunshine while those who prefer cloudy starry weather get to live there without silly restrictions
Weather really makes difference. Waking up with sun is awesome. Sometimes clouds and rain can bring a well appreciated change. Gloomy for weeks in then it becomes issue. Sunny for days it becomes gloomy and dreading etc. a variety is best. Days on end same weather just nah cannot do it. It has to be different every few days because that way you appreciate every part of it
I feel like you don't even have to travel to another country to experience the effects that the weather will have on you. I live in India. During the summer I feel like my pain is cured and I am the happiest. But when the first raindrop hits the ground at monsoon, my body pain rises by 100%. It is not just the weather I feel like the temperature also has an effect on your sensation of pain and mood.
Maybe see a doctor for vitamin d deficiency
Is it the barometric pressure?
The sun of your love has risen,
Dispelling the darkness of my heart.
❤persian poem❤
I lives in Hawaii..my aches and pains has no different than living in non-tropical country. sometimes i feel depressed seeing the sun
I live in Africa and I don't really understand. I have nothing else to compare to. For me the sun just burns and we are always seeking shade. Those African hutts are cool, very nice to spend the day in.
I love a bright sunny day. It just brightens up my day and puts me in a better mood all day😊
yes, me too
I recently travelled to Belgium form Qld Australia I froze caught the flu within a week of arriving there the whole body hurt days we're dark gloomy rain all day and freezing cold. Not a fan. In Australia I wake up early watch the sunrise and exercise this is positive start to the day 😊
Sunshine is great but too much can cause problems including health and send you scurrying into the shade .
However the reverse thing happens to me. I am originally from Bangladesh which exerts 6 seasons in one year, and winter, rainy and sunny seasons are the most prevalent here. I never get depressed in winter, even my motivation is triggered at this time. It's true that I become a little bit lethargic but it doesn't hamper my studies or other activities.
I feel more down in summer. 🙂
It is really good effort.
Indonesian here 🖐🏼. Been living here since birth, not a fan of strong sunshine with the high humidity, it makes me high tempered and not eager to stay outside if not necessary. The extreme heat and the humidity are the cause, i have no prob with the light itself. When it is gloomy and cloudy, my mood becomes alot better, and im a happier person. Not sure if i resided in cold European cities, I only several times visiter them in autumn seasons. I know some caught winter depression.
It's so nice to know that the BBC is tackling the most important questions in the world 🌎 today ✨️ 🙏 🙌 ♥️ 💖 ❤️ ✨️
As someone coming from Cameroon to the UK. The winter has been the most challenging thing for me 😂... its cold and the sunshine isn't like back home .I was enthusiastic and happy with the warm and sunny climate than it is here
summer and sunlight depress me. I feel invigorated and happy by the stars, the night, stargazing, the northern lights and Sirius
Wow ! Each to his own. This is something unique .
Cool
@@jkardez4794😮😮ugu
I believe probably we got too much of sunshine, nearby equator , therefore we want to have the night and galaxy more 😊
I adore both. What despairs me is grey sky that clouds both sunshine and other stars seen at night.
Yes the sun shine always gives me hope and good mood.
💯 agreed 😊! Sun elevates mood warmth, happiness and personally health wise I benefit and definitely prefer warm climate, psychological well-being is way better. Health issues like Arthritis, chronic pain, lack of VitD, heart issues, blood circulation, drive sun (UV rays) energy. Some feel and deteriorates in winter season, I love the natural☀️.
Agreed
I remember being super happy for no reason in the first year after I moved from Britain to Australia. But it settled down after that. There are a lot of Australians who suffer from depression as well.
If you are in England, yes. If you are in Greece, not so much.
This is so obvious, of course we all happier when there is sunshine. I moved to UK in my 20 ties living here now 20 years. I see lot of people with mental health issues. I figured it out that this have something to do with vit D deficiency therefore little serotonin realise
This is why I move to San Diego California incredible 🌞 ☀️ 🌤 sunshine 🌞 ☀️ 💛
A dark, hulking thunderstorm or blizzard can cheer me up after too many days of sunshine and visa versa. Variety is the healing spice of life.
I feel much happier and have more energy in cloudy cool weather. The sun makes me so tired.
I live 200km north of Saigon, Viet Nam where you can expect the sun rises everyday. for such a beautiful day as western view, i still feel depressed sometimes. The definition of a beautiful day seems other way around, when it is cloudy and less hot with a nice breeze. that's a beautiful day to us. Camping and things can be on such those days.
Weather definitely has a direct impact on our mood and health.
YES! YES!!! As someone who have been a hermit. Yes. I’d love people to be woken up by the beautiful sun and be grateful to God.
BBC needs to step up on this issue not send a message to people in UK to discourage them from sunshine due to the economic scene ,yes the stories on getting backed is related to temperature but vitamin D is important for strong bones in the elderly and good for health
Not the sun in Singapore after 9 am . It is too humid and hot, is unbearable to stay outside .
I hate the sun and avoid it whenever I can. It makes me feel anxious. I love cloudy days and darkness. However most of the people I know get sad when there is no sun. Sunshine makes them feel happy as they tell me this, I keep my feelings about the sun to myself.
Being indoors on a rainy day is comforting. Being outdoors on a rainy day feels dramatic. Being indoors on a sunny day I feel guilty. Being outdoors on a sunny day can be nice, but no sports (dangerous) or exercise (boring) and then there are the bugs and heat. I did not mind the lockdown at all.
Same, I hate it also. I won’t go out in the sun. I love the autumn and winter here in Ireland.
But for me, in a tropical country Vietnam. In Spring and especially Summer, it's really hot and the sunlight is abundant. I wish it's cloudy :))
I feel happier in rainy days this my personality 🤩
Me too 😅
i'm in morocco. everyday is sunny here. sun is burning everything including all plants. you can not walk outside. I'm missing cloudy days
I respect everything that's been said here. But as for me I couldn't hate the sun more than I already do. I am from Spain and I have been trying to run away from the sun my entire life. I lived in Iceland for a few years and when I came back to Spain I ended up buying a house in the mountains in the very north of Spain. Sunshine makes me sad and when we talk about direct exposure...it is indeed my worst enemy. But the thing is that I am not joking at all. If it hadn't been for some personal stuff in my life I would still be living in Iceland. And I must admit I was the happiest person on earth. But I understand everything said here. And I respect that :), but it doesn't work for me though.
it totally makes sense. i think we're not all the same. as humans we all have different physiological characteristics and needs. reaction to weather is for sure personal and i personally think a balance is good. i'm from Italy, but i travel to Denmark many times for study and work and most of the time people in there say to me: "wow you're so lucky down there! people must be more happy for sure with your "mediterranean" weather!!" but they probably never tried to live an entire summer with almost no rain and 38/40 C° every fuckin day. maybe you don't get depressed but you get fuckin' stressed 😆 when i'm up in Denmark during the summer, i just feel WAY more better
It appears you might have photosensitivity, an electromagnetic sensitivity which can arise when artificial EM fields and other adverse exposures play havoc with our nervous and immune systems.
I love my country but the weather is a big challenge with my health. It too hot in sunny day. I cant sleep without the air conditional, my skin itchy, my head feel like sitting in a sauna. 😞 And this year, we lost our cold winter due to climate change🥲 I really miss my cloudy and rainy day.
they often conflate warmth with sunnyness.
There are many warm climates that are not sunny.
And indeed many cold places that are very sunny.
I live in Africa and I don't really understand. I have nothing else to compare to. For me the sun just burns and we are always seeking shade. Those African hutts are cool, very nice to spend the day in.
I'm from the South of Spain and I feel that without the sunshine I'd be really unhappy.
Hello how are you doing?
Hi pretty lady how are you doing ♥️
I live in Colorado US. We have 300 days of sunshine a year and very low humidity. We also have one of the highest suicide rates.
im so tired of winter and cold
I live in the desert of AZ….no clouds…..6” of rain per year. The people here are distant and not friendly whereas my former home, in MI, are warmer. In fact, when the sun is like an oven, the people here are downright angry!
I think it depends. When you always have good weather you stop carrying. I think the variation is what makes it better .
In Brazil I’d say that 80% of the time when you’re just going about your daily life and working, the sun is just a nuisance.
After moving to Berlin I find myself looking forward sunny days in a way that I never did before.
Congratulation ! You discovered the life secret of happiness: which is that life is variable you can't be always happy neither all the time sad we had to suffer sometimes
So true😂
I lived in Tropical Kerala, India, and did not see value in Sunlight till some time before. Actually, the heat and humidity was nothing to be fond of. But in the last 2 years I have been living in the UK, and I completely understand the value of Sunlight. The winter months are literally struggle for me. But the summer in UK is just the best.
That is SO TRUE. Sunshine makes everything so much better. It has a positive effect on my mood, productivity and health overall

I lived in Melbourne St Kilda Australia he exaggerates weather. It's beautiful. Born in Manchester UK. Lots of cloudy and rain. Now live in sunny FL. Heat is a drop too much but do love the sun
If sunshine and warm weather makes people happier and more ready to seize the day, then why aren't countries like Pakistan and Sudan not vibrant and peaceful utopias?
Mild sunshine works on personal psychology. In the above mentioned countries it's the socio-economic factors which play a role in the difficulties which they face .
it depends on where you live. even summer in Europe, many people don"t feel happy.
I used to live in Spain for 3 years, for me Spanish weather and climate is unbearable, a lot of heat wave every year getting worse, a lot of nausea, dehydration and a high risk of heart attack and skin cancer🙃
Hi pretty lady how are you doing
I am come from Somalia the sune sometimes is too much special places have sea when during time summer, some place has low degree in sunny.
Right now i have been living in uganda since one year, both country are different special climate.
Uganda most rain than Somalia.
OMG! Iam the opposite! Grey and cloudy days energise me! I really Don't like sunny days😶
In your tropical countries, we are enough of that sunshine , hoping to get some cloudy and raining days , here , hot like hell
Countries with sunlight throughout the year are blessed.
About 80% medical issues will be away.
Your bills will be reduced by 80%...
You cost for clothing will be reduced by 80%....
80% of depression related mental issues won't be there.
This could be one of the reasons why a country becomes the most populated country in the world.
Rjukan Norway is 2% latitude north of where I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We get lots of sunshine in winter because we are on the prairies.
If you are not in a good mood, don’t blame the weather. Learn to meditate.
The sunny weather and no rainy weather is the main thing that helps me motivate to work everyday. Currently living now in Qatar all year is sunny and 0.5% of rain. Best decision so far weather wise ❤
Good for you 😊
Isn’t too hot in the Middle East ?
I mean l live in neighbouring Saudi Arabia in the north which is way colder but still during the summer I suffer from the sweaty weather !
@@mz6367 it does! But i like the sunny weather everyday! I just enjoy the view when its sunny because its hyping my mood! But the heat is tough so I mostly just staying indoor all summer 😅
As someone living in a hot sunny country, I'm tired of the sun I miss winter, wind, clouds and rain
Living under an average of 35° a year it's tiring of the body, your body is always fitting heat and humidity
You'll hate the sun in Thailand. It's scorching hot in summer and still hot all year round.
I am a Thai and the heat at 40 degrees could make you feel depressed too.
I agree, and it's either you die of high heat or high electricity bill (coz we couldn't stop using the Aircon) LoL
Id rather die from the heat than in grey ,gloomy, wet British weather
@@Makinen689 mark your words, there are many other climates where there is sunshine but isn't scorching hot
That's perfect! Some of us are made for the sun.
OMG.. I totally hide myself from sunshine. Sometimes used to get afraid to out in the sunny weather..
Sunshine is absolutely unbearable when depressed
But what about darkness when it's gloomy?
@@jkardez4794 it's confortable
You feel as though the sun is mocking you?
