Feeling like hitchhiking? Drivers are more likely to pick up hitchhikers on sunny days than on cloudy days.
Looking for a date? Again, sunny days are your ally! A man approached women walking alone in the street and asked them for their phone numbers and had a success rate of 22.4% on sunny days compared to 13.9% on cloudy days.

Let’s see what’s next on our list of ways weather affects human behavior and emotions.
