Now, I noticed before I left today that it was raining and I was a bit melancholy, and so I posed this question to myself for reference to post it later: Does weather affect how you feel, or vice versa?
In my opinion, the weather dictates my feelings a good 50% of the time. When it's raining, and I'm outside, I'm usually a bit melancholy. And when it's sunny, it's a good chance that I'm a bit happy.
I just wanted to know that if you guys felt the same way about the weather dictating your feelings, or if your feelings dictated the weather...

If your feet hurt from walking too much, then I will tend to them with a velvet touch.
If your lungs just don't want to work today, then I'll perform a mouth to mouth until you're okay.
Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips circling your lips? Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you?
I know all your favorite spots, and tonight we will connect the dots.

Yes, I suppose the weather does affect me, but mostly because I like certain types of weather more than others. But, a lot of it was to do with the mood I'm already in. Alike, if I'm not happy, and it's raining, well, then melancholy hits. But If I'm good, then I usually just feel peaceful and happy watching it drizzle and whatnot.

The weather hardly affects my mood. Probably because I spend most of my time inside either at home or some other place. The only time it affects how I feel is when I actually go out and play tennis or another sport.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Actually I read something in National Geographic about people getting depressed because of lack of sunlight and too much rainy weather...I forgot where they lived though...

Some people just like rainy weather...maybe it all just depends on what type of weather you like...if you allow that to affect your mood I guess...

I think it is the weather that dictates your feelings, not the other way around, but thats just my view

I believe that the weather dictates one's feelings as well, Mike.
Of course, if someone is in the greatest of moods, rain isn't going to slow them down, but I do think that one's surroundings (applying solely to weather) has an emotional affect on that someone. It's not definite, but over time, it will have an affect, in my opinion.
As for the rest of one's surroundings, that's a different topic...

I believe the weather somewhat dictates our feelings.
I love the rain, but I'm usually a bit more melancholy when it rains for long periods of time. Surroundings really do give us a sense of ourselves, in a way. So if your environment is dark, cold and lonely, after a while, you'll probably feel that yourself. That's what I think..

Weather is used in drama as well, when it is a funeral it is raining to represent the sadness and the loss of a life. And when there is a marriage or something like that it is sunshine to represent happiness

It's in a million movies because it's a common suggestion to emotions. In cinematics, it's a common theme to use the weather to symbolize emotions, but do prolonged periods of time in certain weather influence you?

Yeah things tend to feel more gloomy after it's been raining on and off for a week or more...
