The Spring weather forecast for Ontario is mild but moody. What is moody weather? How did we get to turning the weather into emotional upset?
The "moody" prediction is even more flowery - "profound mood swings" - and what is that? The article doesn't say.
Another article says that when it's too hot or too cold, our bodies have to work harder to maintain that ideal balance which can lead to feelings of discomfort. That comes from "The Weather and Your Mood: How the Two Are Connected"
It might be that things are changing now that Climate Change is here. We're on alert for the weather, not just attentive to it. Journalists are interviewing people with climate change phobias. This is described in the term eco-anxiety.
What about this term - solastalgia - it is the distress produced by environmental change impacting on people while they are directly connected to their home environment. I think we're in for some of that as well.
I found this postcard of my garden in the archives.
