The connection between anger and warm weather
A research team from Poznan Medical University in Poland discovered that our cortisol levels, a stress-regulating hormone, often increase during the summer months.
People really become more angry in hot weather, researchers have confirmed. They found that levels of cortisol stress hormone - important in regulating sugar, salt and fluids - increased during the summer.
It is released into the blood in difficult or unpleasant situations.
This finding sheds light on the "summer rage," where heat exposure appears to be related to increased crime rates and suicide.
Dr. Dominika Kanikowska, head of the Polish research group at Poznan Medical University, said cortisol circulates when the weather becomes warm to the surprise. She said: "These findings contradict the traditional concepts of uncomfortable mood in winter and the comfortable comfort of summer."
The doctor said the hormone helps reduce inflammation and is necessary for overall health. She presented her research at a US Physiological Society meeting in San Diego, California.
Previous theories for summer anger include metabolic reactions or biological reactions.
