How hot weather affects our mental health

While the physical consequences of heat waves have been widely described, scientists are now sounding the alarm on the psychological consequences of extremely high temperatures. Dr. Nidhi Kumar is on call with more on the issues that could range from irritability to insomnia.

I find it very alarming and because I have naturally curly hair it makes having a hairdo more difficult to keep it nice and pretty.

Too bad y’all don’t care about climate change.Sucks for Earth.

I disagree with this totally. Are you saying people in the Global south are all.... ?

It is funny, people in TX definitely laugh about this...but part of it is acclimation. If you are not used to the heat, it is much worse. Or not prepared for it. In Houston almost everyone has AC. But also there are different laws up here so deranged individuals yes will get more irate in the heat so it probably is causing a lot more issues, but the south American imports here in nyc prob don't have any issue...the heat is mild for them. But they are still committing crimes. It's a character issue, not a heat issue. But being hot can make one more annoyed, or easily annoyed. So the local heathen are probably having violent outbursts for no good reason other than being too hot and bothered.
