Does weather affect mood?

It is discovered that people must spend at least 30 minutes outside in nice weather for their mood to actually increase. It is important for people, especially college kids, to make an everyday attempt to go outside for at least a 30-minute period. Doing this can help your overall health by "improving mood, memory and broadening cognitive style (Keller)." The University of Michigan also found that by staying indoors, while the weather outside is nice, may actually decrease mood and cognitive ability (sciencedaily.com).
