The weather has been even shitter than usual in the UK this spring. Normally we'd have had a few decent days by now, but it's just been cold, windy and overcast after our unsettlingly mild winter.

Anyway, it's amazing how much a bit of sun picks up my mood. The sun is out today and the world seems slightly less shit. The birds are singing and I'm seeing insects flitting about.

The sun is good for mental health.

    It's funny because I am kind of the opposite

    I always feel better on overcast or rainy days

    Probably something to do with my allergies and the weather dissuading the plants from shooting pollen into my face

      SAME but I'm not allergic to pollen or anything kitty-birthday-sad I just like grey, cloudy, rainy/windy days 110% more than I do your standard clear day. literally will wake up with a smile on my face as soon as my brain realizes 'oh, that sound is raindrops hitting the window'

    I love when its kinda cool outside (but not cold) and the sun is behind a cloud and then slowly, the cloud moves and the sun's warmth washes over my face mmmm

    conversely, I also love when it's a perfectly sunny day and the darkest storm clouds ever roll in and make earth feel like an eternal twilight

    Ynow how movies will tweak colour grading to make a place look worse than it is. Well the UK has a real life desaturation filter on 24/7 that drains the colour out of everything.

    Praise the sun for allowing me to see colour this year praise-it

    Seeing the sun and blue sky is so pleasant. Sometimes I think I am a plant. fedposting

    the sun gives me migraines agony-deep. I love mild, sunny days (like today) but I have to sit in a dark room instead. I get so much worse in the summer and start to get better in the winters.

      Yes. The sun causes all the pain in the world.

      Unfortunately, changes in weather also give me migraines, so the defeat of the sun is no good, either.

        weather is caused by the sun -- no sun, no energy in the atmosphere. so defeating the sun will eventually kill the weather (and all life)
