Head in the Clouds: How the Weather Affects our Minds and Mental Health

​Join Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder and Member 1 of the Cloud Appreciation Society, for a fascinating online conversation with Trevor Harley, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Dundee and author of Head in the Clouds. Together, they will explore the subtle but powerful ways that weather shapes our minds, moods, and behaviour – from the uplifting effect of sunshine and rainbows to the psychological impact of storms, seasons, and changing skies. Expect a lively discussion blending science, personal experience, and cloud appreciation, revealing how the atmosphere above us quietly influences the atmosphere within us.
