I hear some stories about how changes in the weather can affect people’s physical health, with creaky knees or swollen sinuses occurring with some types of weather. Here is a recent story from EuroNews about how weather may affect young people’s mental health.
Researchers led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) found that in the Netherlands, exposure to cold temperatures over time was associated with internalizing problems such as anxiety, depression, being withdrawn, and other complaints among adolescents and young adults. Meanwhile, higher heat levels in Spain were tied to attention problems, according to the study, which was published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
