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

I agree the weather is able to affect people’s mood. I think hot weather makes people angry. On a rainy day, the weather makes people depressed/down. When I was in university, I often go to WuHan, I think WH is a hot city. I found most WH people are angry, because the restaurant’s boss always speak loudly to you.

I think the weather also affect personality. Before I was in university, I lived north. People are open, but when I lived in South, I think most people are soft/tender/ gentle/considerate. North is dry and South is humid, it’s caused people have different personalities.

People are more open-minded, but when I lived in South, I think most people are soft/tender/ gentle/considerate. The north is dry and the south is humid, the weather will also influence people to have different personalities.
