Il tempo atmosferico può influenzare il nostro umore? Leggi la lezione di oggi per saperne di più.

Can the weather (tempo atmosferico) affect (influenzare) our mood (umore)?
This controversial question has been discussed by scientists and sociologists for a long time. When it is extremely hot (caldo), people may feel irritated or moody (di malumore) for no apparent reason; on a cold, rainy (piovoso) day you may feel melancholy or even depressed. There are studies that link (collegano) high (alte) temperatures to increase (aumento) in crime (criminalità).
It is believed that people get (diventano) irritable when it is very hot.
The fact that the weather may have an influence on our mood is documented by a disorder (disturbo) called ‘Seasonal (stagionale) Affective Disorder’, (S.A.D.) which affects (colpisce) some people during winter (inverno).
The lack (mancanza) of sunlight (luce solare) may alter certain hormonal levels in the body. The symptoms of SAD are sadness (tristezza), fatigue (affaticamento), loss (perdita) of appetite, apathy, irritability.
