Do you agree that the weather is able to affect people’s mood or personality?

My mother and my husband are affected of the bad weather. When I’m a children, when the weather is rain, in my childhood, I was afraid to meet my mother. She often yell at me, so I hate raining. My husband hates raining too, when it rains, he will be sad . He often says he doesn’t want go to work. I don’t be affected by weather.

Revised

My mother and my husband are affected by the bad weather. When I was a child, when it rained, I was afraid to see my mother. She often yelled at me, so I hate raining. My husband hates the rain too, when it rains, he will be sad . He often says he doesn’t want go to work. I won’t be/ am not affected by the weather.

Sure, I think the weather undoubtedly  can influence your mood of personality. First, people tend to be quite emotion and sensitive during rainy days and have higher possibility of being melancholy . Secondly, it can also influence people’s personality. If a place is always sunny and hot, people are likely  to be passionate and optimistic, such as Brazilians. I guess their enthusiasm is partly predestined by their weather.
