What does meteorology have to do with human beings?

Meteorological conditions are an important factor of human living environment. Meteorological conditions and their changes not only affect people's health, but also have a very obvious impact on people's psychology and emotions. Favorable meteorological conditions can make people feel high and comfortable, improve their quality of life and work efficiency; Unfavorable meteorological conditions make people depressed, depressed, lazy, weak, and even lead to mental illness and abnormal behavior.

Research shows that high temperature, high humidity, rainy weather and some abnormal weather events are not conducive to people's mental health. According to a data of the World Health Organization, the El Ni? o phenomenon from 1982 to 1983 caused about 654.38+million people to suffer from depression, the incidence of mental illness increased by 8%, and traffic accidents increased by at least 5,000 times.

The reason is that El Nino, an abnormal meteorological change, has caused global climate anomalies and weather disasters, which has exceeded the psychological endurance of some people, leading to fidgeting, mental retardation and other diseases, and people with weak will will cry hysterically.

Generally speaking, the low temperature environment is conducive to the formation of a good mental state, while when the temperature is high or rising, people's mental state is prone to fluctuations and abnormalities. Psychologists have found that when the temperature is high or warm current invades, mental patients get up and wander, can't sleep, shout and swear, and throw things, and normal people will have different emotional changes.

Because high temperature is not conducive to people's mental health, the crime rate in high temperature environment is relatively high. The American police have appointed experts to make a detailed study, and found that the total number of daily crimes in Atlanta increases with the increase of temperature, and the hottest June and July have the highest crime rate.

There is an old saying that "the sky is dark", which means that people are lazy and unhappy in the rainy season. Through in-depth research, Chinese medical meteorologists found that rainy weather affects people's mental health mainly because the light in rainy weather is weak and the human body secretes more pineal hormones, so the secretion concentration of thyroxine and adrenaline is relatively reduced, and people's nerve cells become lazy and inactive, and people will become listless.
