Feeling hot and bothered? Under the weather? This rich and timely account will help you understand how the weather affects your psychology and can benefit your mental health and wellbeing, from psychology professor and lifelong weather obsessive Trevor Harley

We love talking about the weather, whether we're raving or moaning about it. But do we truly understand how it makes us feel and why? And what do we do with this knowledge once we have it?

Professor Trevor Harley has spent years obsessed with the weather - watching it, recording it, studying it - and in doing so has discovered how understanding our relationship with the weather can benefit our wellbeing.

From understanding why hot weather makes us irritable and why morning sunlight is important for sleep to how thunderstorms might cause us to see ghosts and how the size of our brains changes across the seasons, Professor Harley invites you to uncover the surprising ways in which the weather shapes our minds, moods and behaviours.

In this fascinating deep dive, you will discover the true impact of different types of weather on your psychology and mental health and in doing so learn how to boost joy and maximise your wellbeing - whatever the weather.

‘Fun, fascinating and original – a gust of fresh air!’ – TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of THE SECRET WORLD OF WEATHER

The weather doesn’t just change our plans – it changes our state of mind

We might glance at the forecast every morning, but the true impact of our most universal obsession goes far deeper than influencing our daily itineraries. The weather is the silent architect of the human psyche; it doesn’t just determine what we wear – it shapes how we think, feel and treat one another.

Weaving together groundbreaking research and his own deeply personal mental health journey, Professor Trevor Harley explores the invisible alchemy between the elements and our minds. From uncovering our unique 'weather personalities' to exploring how heatwaves trigger aggression, negative ions from thunderstorm relieve depression and rainbows inspire awe, Head in the Clouds reveals the astonishing effects of the weather on our psychology, mental health and behaviour.

Whether you want to enhance your wellbeing, navigate conditions like seasonal affective disorder, or more fully appreciate the intimate connection between the human mind and the natural world, Head in the Clouds offers a radical new perspective. Discover how understanding the influence of the elements can empower you, turning the simple act of observing the skies into a valuable toolkit for mindfulness, acceptance and everyday joy – whatever the weather.

Notă biografică

TREVOR HARLEY is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Dundee. His early interest in science led to a degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, followed by a PhD in Experimental Psychology. He then pursued an academic career in psychology, first at the University of Warwick, then at the University of Dundee where he became Head of Department and then Dean. Trevor has been obsessed with the weather since childhood, particularly with how it influences our behaviour and wellbeing - an interest inspired partly by his own struggles with mental health, including anxiety and seasonal affective disorder. Trevor has written extensively about the weather and how it affects us in academic books and journals, and is frequently interviewed on the subject for television and radio programmes, as well as by publications including The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Time Magazine and The Psychologist.
