We often use the weather as a metaphor for how we’re feeling: gloomy, sunny or under a cloud. But how does it actually affect us?
In this episode of TCTV, Nick Haslam describes the influence of sunny skies and rainy days on our moods.
This video is a co-production between SBS World News and The Conversation.
