Why You Should Track the Weather, and Your Mood, in the Same Place using a Notes App

Weather and emotions have always been strange companions. A cloudy sky often carries a clouded mind, and the first warmth of sun can melt away anxious weight. But how often do we really pay attention to how the skies outside mirror our world within?

In 2025, tracking both your mood and the weather in one place might be the life hack you didn’t know you needed — and a notes app could be the simplest tool to do just that.

The Science Behind Mood and Weather

Studies suggest that temperature, sunlight, humidity, and even barometric pressure can affect our emotional states. Here are a few common correlations:

Sunlight increases serotonin, boosting mood and focus.

Cold and rain can lead to lethargy and even depressive symptoms in some.

High humidity can cause discomfort and irritability.

Recognizing this pattern is the first step. But documenting it turns vague awareness into clear insight.

Why Note-Taking Helps

Journaling your mood is already a proven mental health tool. Pairing it with weather data gives context:

Spot emotional triggers (e.g., gloomy days = low energy)

Align routines with better productivity windows

Improve self-compassion when you're not feeling 100%

It also makes your self-care more precise. Instead of wondering why you feel off, you’ll have data to point to.
