Weather and Physiology

[mete]

I know that very low humidity ,5-10 %, will lower seratonin levels in the body. This can have detrimental effect on people.
Wind can have an effect also but I can't remember if it's with seratonin or some other neurotransmitter. Can someone answer this ??

Dont know the answer to your question, but I find the info on the low humidity interesting. I spent years in extremely low humitity in the past, and never was aware of this effect.

That's been known for a very long time . The Mediterranean weather system Scirroco , is a hot DRY system and courts were more lenient when crimes were committed at those times !! They knew the effect though only in more recent times did they learn the seretonin cause !
