Can you please talk about the significance of caring about the weather to our daily lives?
The impact of weather on people:
Meteorological conditions are an important element of the human living environment. Meteorological conditions and their changes not only affect people’s physical health, but also have a negative impact on people’s psychological and emotional aspects. The impact is also very obvious. Favorable weather conditions can make people feel high, happy, and improve their quality of life and work efficiency; while unfavorable weather conditions can make people depressed, depressed, lazy, and even lead to mental illness and abnormal behavior.
Research shows that high temperature, high humidity, rain and some abnormal weather events are not good for people's mental health. According to data from the World Health Organization, the "El Niño phenomenon" from 1982 to 1983 caused about 100,000 people worldwide to suffer from depression, the incidence of mental illness increased by 8%, and the number of traffic accidents increased by at least 5,000. . The reason is that abnormal weather changes such as "El Niño" cause global climate anomalies and weather disasters, which exceed the psychological endurance of some people, resulting in restlessness, mental retardation and other symptoms. The weak-willed people will also emit Hysterical cries. Generally speaking, a low-temperature environment is conducive to a better mental state, while at high temperatures or when the temperature rises, people's mental state is prone to fluctuations and abnormalities. Research by psychiatric experts has found that when the temperature is high or there is a warm current invading, the number of mentally ill patients who get up and wander around, be unable to sleep, yell and curse, and beat things increases significantly. Normal people will also have varying degrees of emotional changes. Since high temperature is not good for people's mental health, the crime rate in high-temperature environments is also relatively high. In 1996, on the eve of the Olympic Games, the U.S. police commissioned experts to conduct detailed research and found that the total number of daily crime incidents in Atlanta increased with the increase in temperature. Increasingly, the crime rate is the highest in June and July, the hottest months, but the Olympic Games are held during this period; in order to reduce people's fear, the person in charge of the Olympic Organizing Committee once lied that Atlanta's summer temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. .
As the old saying goes, "The dusk makes people depressed." It means that in the season of continuous rain, people's spirits are lazier and their mood is not happy. my country's medical meteorologists have discovered through in-depth research that the main reason why rainy weather affects people's mental health is because the light in rainy weather is weak, and the human body secretes more pineal hormones. In this way, the secretion concentration of thyroxine and epinephrine decreases. If it is relatively reduced, the human body's nerve cells will become "lazy" and become less "active", and people will become listless.
The impact of meteorological conditions on mental health has attracted great attention from psychologists, behavioral scientists and management scientists. When some countries issue weather forecasts, they also issue physical and psychological diseases that may be caused by future weather, as well as disease prevention measures that are "adapted to weather conditions".
