Are people happier in hot countries?

[hellofriend]

In my oinion, people living in the cold area are more happier than those people who live in the hot area. Firstly, when t comes to snow, majority of the people feel happy and enjoyble because snow usually bring them happiness and relaxness. For example, children could get a chance for cancelling school and playing snowball with their friends. People who live in the hot area nearlly never get these kinds of opportunities. Secondly, we can do a lots of sports games with snow like curling and snowboard which is a great fun. By doing these activities, our body gets exercise and it is a good chance to make more friends when we play winter activities outside.

Maybe people in cold countries need to heat up a lot

Why do people who live in very cold countries seem more miserable than people who live in hot climates?

Wordchecker
miserable (adjective): very unhappy
climate (noun): the usual weather conditions in an area

I think yes the hot weather influence a little bit the moods, but not the solution to be more happier it's up to you at the end of the day.

I don't think they are happier, I think maybe suicide rates in cold countries are higher but I think it means they are miserable.

Hi, I'm a new member here My english is not good but I hope here I can improve it. In my point of view, as a person who was born in cold country (I'm from Belarus) and who live in a hot country for many years (actually I live in Spain now) the people from cold countries they more unhappy for a reason a fews sunny days that they have. Here in Spain we have more then 300 sunny days and it's so tipically to go to a bar with terrace to drink a beer or cafe, fore example. This is one of ways to have a a little bit relax. We have a beach, sea, ocean, mountains and this affects to have a good mood. In Belarus we have winter without many snow, but the days so grey and cold that the people have a little bit depression. We need to wear up many clothers it's so uncomfortable. We have rains in Autumn, many rains. So, in my opinion, this is one from reasons in which the people in sunny countries more happy.

as far as i know there is no correlation between temperature and happiness level. when you stated "miserable" I think you meant you biased view about the subject. Im from Canada and it sure is not hot up here ! but we are happy with who and where we are.

Yeap, I'm happy. I have been living in the South African republic for 2 years now and I really love warmth. Yes, it can be extremely hot, but it's better than freezing

[Murazik]

i don't think so

Why do people who live in very cold countries seem more miserable than people who live in hot climates?

That's completely incorrect! Being happy or not does not depend on where you live. It just depends on yourself!

I want to agree with that but I've lived in vastly differently places and thought about this often. Happiness depends on how you're living. In some places you can only live certain ways. I know for my own happiness it would be best if I lived in Vietnam or Taiwan. Those two countries have all of the conditions I'm looking for.

I have lived in both Scotland and Hong Kong, so have experienced the constant cold and hot weathers!

Personally, I feel a lot more active in hotter countries, so my morale is higher.
