In fact, the weather's impact on your body and the natural world is so varied, there's a whole scientific study devoted to it: biometeorology. It's a small, but diverse field of atmospheric scientists who study how — and why — the weather impacts animals, plants and humans. From changing symptoms of existing diseases, contributing to new conditions and prompting temporary physiological changes inside your body, the weather's effect on your health is far-reaching.

This is a very important question. As all of us know, weather affects us in a huge number of ways. Climate influences the growth of crops, thus affecting the availability and kind of food we eat. Fluctuations in weather (e.g. dry spells, wet spells) also affect crops. Weather affects what clothes we wear, and soon. I can't think of anything we do that weather doesn't have a strong effect on.

If you have ever lived / are living in a place which experiences extreme weather conditions, you will agree that the weather has a significant impact on your everyday routine, on your life.. And while many of us don’t acknowledge or realize the magnitude of this impact, we know deep down that there is a definite influence of the weather…
On a daily basis it can affect choices we make about whether to walk or take the car, what clothes we wear and whether outdoor events and pursuits are likely to get glorious sunshine or be rained off.

6 Ways Climate Change Will Drastically Change Your Everyday Life
" The term climate change can sometimes sound like we are talking about a nebulous future tense. Phrases like “leaving the world better for your kids and grandkids” can have the effect of allowing us—individuals and politicians—to kick the can down the road when it comes to acting on climate change. However, asPope Francis reminded us in a frank and powerful encyclical—we cannot.
Climate change—which 97 percent of climate scientists say is happening and is very likely man-made—will impact our everyday lives, if not today, then very soon. Here are six important ways climate change is predicted to affect our everyday lives.
1. FOOD
2. WATER
3. INFRASTRUCTURE
4. ENERGY SOURCES
5. NATURAL WONDERS
6. WEATHER "

I am agree with others and I see that most important effect of extreme weather is on Livelihoods of Farmers. They are suffering from losses and their situation is extremely critical.
Indeed it has been rather hot and dry. Daytime temperature is 35 Celsius, and it drops to about 28-30 at night. Many of my students complain that they are sweating through their pyjamas. The good thing is that my laundry dries superfast. In such dry El Nino times we face, we must be careful that we use water sparingly, otherwise, we will have water rationing imposed on us when the level of the dam is critically low. And the budget cuts implied that aircond is switched off exactly at 5 pm. Certainly hot and dry days are in store till March!
Carbon dioxide can be the main cause of global warming and climate change, but not the only. Many other gaseous compounds or particulates, known as 'climate forcings', have an influence on the amount of solar energy (including heat) that the Earth holds and amount of solar energy that this reflects into space. These include climatic forcing major air pollutants such as ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and particulate matter.
What happened to natural causes and allowed humanity to adapt, now it is caused by humanity itself, who perhaps should seriously worry of future ways to adjust.
Yes dear Enzo , dear friends. With all our research about the environment, are we making life-style changes? Humans need 1.5 earths, but we only have 1 earth. It has enough for our basic needs, but insufficient for human greed. This extreme weather may be just the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes people have a lot of head knowledge, but it doesn't affect their decisions and their actions.

Right now, I am sitting at the Airport, as my flight is delayed due to weather! combined with probable mood swings of winter ( as suggested above).... not a good effect though!
Just to add to a long list of times when weather interferes your life..
Good Day everyone
The tremendous rise in humidity over the winter has given me asthma (I think) since 3 years ago
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
See, what "Douglas Coupland" said about "Weather":
"You can't get mad at weather because weather isn't about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life."
Yes, the extreme weather has affected our life ... adapted by me...
If we are living in a place which experiences extreme weather conditions, we will agree that the weather has a significant impacts with their effects on our everyday routine, on our life.. And while many of us don’t acknowledge or realize the magnitude of these impacts, given through effects we know deep down that there is a definite influence of the weather…
Here there are articulated some most important dimensions on how the weather can affect during our day… our life.
We are getting up from bed
One of the first impacts of the weather is when we will wake up from bed. And more importantly, whether we want to wake up! On bright summery days, the first rays of the early morning sun wake we up bright and early, ready to take on the day with zeal and enthusiasm. On cold snowy foggy wintry days, we just want to snuggle in bed and wish we could stay there all day! In reality, when and how we wake up sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Your Dressing up
The weather affects wha we can wear, what we feel like wearing and most importantly, what we actually end up wearing. In terms of colors, in terms of textures, in terms of styles, in terms of lengths, in terms of fashion, in terms of layers, in terms of accessories, in terms of foot-wear…
What we eat / drink
The weather directly affects what is available to eat, what we eat and drink and also how much we actually guzzle. On a hot day, we yearn for ice creams, cold coffees, etc. And on cold days, we desire hot coffee, tea, milk, etc. And what we eat affects your thoughts, your energy, your life…
Our daily lifestyle
Our daily routine in affected by the weather. In terms of whether or not we exercise (& also how much), in terms of mode of travel and travel time, in terms of the length of the day, in terms of how much time we can get for work, play, prayer, family, friends, fun, reading, writing… just about everything! And lastly, in terms of when you go to bed!
Our activities & hobbies
The activities and hobbies we can indulge in depend a lot on the weather – In terms of feasibility, in terms of accessibility, in terms of availability, in terms of affordability…
Our moods
Weather has a direct impact on our moods and the moods of those around us. On a gloomy day, our mood also tends to be low. On a bright chirpy day, our mood is reflective of the atmosphere around and we tend to be cheerful and more positive.
Our social life
Social life is again directly dependent on the weather. Little things like when and how we can visit someone, how we can entertain guests in our home, embarking on an outdoor group activity, organizing an major life event like a wedding, birthday celebration, a party, etc. – They are all linked to the weather!!
Our Productivity
Our productivity is again influenced by the weather. In our personal life for things like how much time we take to do daily things like cooking, eating, cleaning, gardening, laundry, home-maintenance, etc. In our professional like for things like how quickly you are able to complete an assigned task, how effectively you can delegate, etc.
Our life skills
Weather also affects life skills in ways we don’t acknowledge, recognize or fully appreciate – Things like presence of mind, communication, alertness, attentiveness, negotiation, collaboration (both how well we collaborate with others and how well others collaborate with us), listening skills, memory, concentration, attention to detail, ability to grasp new things, ability to comprehend, ability to learn…
Our creativity
Any creative soul will vouch for this. Based on our basic nature and individual body type, there are specific seasons of the year when our creative energy and juices just flow… And while we may not have recognized this, if we look back at times when we have been extraordinarily creative, we will be able to see a pattern.. Yes! Weather does affect our creativity.
Our emotions
Weather does affect our basic human emotions – In terms of how we feel and the depth of our emotions – Ranging from love, hate, fear, sadness, joy, acceptance, surprise, anger, disgust, anticipation. While weather is not the only determinant for our emotions, it does play a contributing factor.
Our thoughts
The last and most important effect of the weather is on our thoughts. In terms of what we think about, How much we think, Why we think, When we think, Where we think, About whom we think and finally, what we do about all our thinking!
It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.

Dears
In Iraq we have 6 months of summer with about 50 degrees centegre
In Palestine, the weather is too hot most time of the year which make us nervous and loss the concentration. For that I think that the cold or normal weather is the best for doing good work
