Οι ακραίες θερμοκρασίες αναγκάζουν το σώμα μας να δουλέψει σκληρά, σχεδόν όπως η έντονη σωματική άσκηση, είτε γιατί προσπαθούμε να παράγουμε θερμότητα όταν κρυώνουμε ή επειδή προσπαθούμε να την αποβάλλουμε για να δροσιστούμε. Αν η θερμοκρασία ξεπερνάει τους 38 βαθμούς Κελσίου για περισσότερο από μία εβδομάδα, το σώμα μας βρίσκεται κάτω από ακραία πίεση που μπορεί να προκαλέσει ακόμη και θάνατο. Ηπαράλογη συμπεριφορά επίσης συνδέεται με τις υψηλές θερμοκρασίες, και ορισμένα φαινόμενα που αποδίδουν οι επιστήμονες στη ζέστη είναι τα εγκλήματα, η κακή οδήγηση και τα ατυχήματα.
Όταν ο καύσωνας συνδυάζεται με υψηλή υγρασία, η πίεση στον οργανισμό είναι ακόμη μεγαλύτερη, προκαλώντας αϋπνία, υπνηλία, οξυθυμία και μειωμένα αντανακλαστικά.
Η έλλειψη φυσικού φωτός προκαλεί την εποχική συναισθηματική διαταραχή, η οποία συνδέεται με την κατάθλιψη που πιστεύεται ότι προκαλείται όταν ο υποθάλαμος του εγκεφάλου διεγείρεται αρκετά από το φως μέσω των ματιών. Ακόμη κι όσοι δεν πάσχουν από εποχική συναισθηματική διαταραχή παραπονιούνται συχνά για τη μελαγχολία του χειμώνα όταν ο καιρός είμαι συννεφιασμένος για μεγάλα διαστήματα.
Αν ο άνεμος είναι αδιάκοπος ή κάνει θόρυβο, μπορεί να προκαλέσει κόπωση και οξυθυμία ή ακόμη και κατάθλιψη. Τα παιδια τείνουν να είνα ευερέθιστα ή κακοδιάθετα όταν φυσάει. Οι εποχικοί άνεμοι μπορούν επίσης να προκαλέσουν συμπτώματα κατάθλιψης.
Ο άνεμος επηρεάζει επίσης το φορτίο της ατμόσφαιρας, όπως οι καταιγίδες. Όταν η ατμόσφαιρα έχει θετικό φορτίο, όπως όταν φυσάει ζεστός αέρας ή πριν από μια καταιγίδα, η διάθεση μας πέφτει. Αντίθετα, αισθανόμαστε καλύτερα όταν πέσει ο αέρας ή περάσει η καταιγίδα, επειδή η ατμόσφαιρα φορτίζεται με αρνητικά ιόντα.
ΧΕΙΜΩΝΑΣ-ΧΑΤΖΗΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ
Είναι χειμώνας κι όπως πρέπει θα ντυθω,το βράδυ που έρχεται...
Και κάποιο λάθος που στο σώμα μου χρωστώ,ο νους δεν το δέχεται...
Κι αν φύγω απο 'δω,μ' εσένα δύσκολα τελειώνω...
Μέσα μου σε κρατώ,λες κι είσαι κάτι σωστό...
Κι εσύ συνέχεια με κερδίζεις,για μια ζωή νικάς...
Σκληρά μακριά μου φεύγεις,μα πιο σκληρά γυρνάς...
Είναι χειμώνας κι όπως πρέπει θα ντυθώ...
Το βράδυ που έρχεται...
Αφιερωμένο στο χειμώνα που έρχεται..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I n this marvelous work of Susana Clarke, weather comes either as a “messenger” or as a direct effect of using sorcery.
In many passages of the book, it is plainly obvious how the weather serves the author in order to express something too Magic that has happened or is about to happen.
Even at the beginning of the book, when Mr. Norrell is challenged to prove how good a magician he is, he reveals his power while a great storm occurs that causes great fear to his opponents.
As the story goes on, young Jonathan Strange is taken by the English Army as a help against the French. During the war, he uses even Black Magic and he creates deathly storms and terrible thunders which strike hard the Enemy and causes to them very important losses.
When an Elf curses Strange, rain surrounds the last and an ancient doom of darkness follows him. And when he sends a mirror as a way out of the magic world, thunders and lightings tear the sky apart so as to cover his cursed and doomed appearance.
When John Uskglash is about to come, a fierce wind starts to blow dragging everything in its passing. Then a storm comes while many ravens crawl wildly. The thunders shake the world and the water falls as a cataract from the sky, destroying everything in its wild way of wrath.
Generally, on the whole book, when the two wizards use some very powerful and dark spells, great clouds gather up in the sky and rain comes as to signify the power these spells bring forth.
Finally, the misty and cloudy weather of
In this famous trilogy, Tolkien lays down his great talent as narrator and one who deeply possesses the art of description and the art of combining the words in such a way that the reader stays ecstatic!
The first book is mostly an introduction to what is about to follow. It focuses on life in the Shire, the Hobbit-land where Frodo and his relatives live. Hobbits are quiet, love food and good life and most of them do not ever seek for adventures. (Exception to this was the line of Frodo). So the weather at the beginning of the book is sunny and the sky bright and nice images spring to the readers’ mind. But the Shadow is near…..
When the plot goes on, a great cloud gathering occurs to the sky few hours before the appearance of the Nashgoul, the Ring-ghosts. And finally when they show themselves up, in The Weather Top a strong rain pours from the sky as to welcome the evil that the Nashgoul bring with them. The weather also depicts the difficult situation where the four Hobbits are trapped in.
In Rivendell, the House of Elrond the Half-Elven, there is a great sun-shine and a nice weather until the time when Gandalf speaks the Black Speech of Mordor in this hallowed land. Then, a big black shadow covers Rivendell during the speaking of the dark words which indicates the evil these words enclose inside them. In addition to this, this weather-change confesses that everything hallowed or not, will be touched by the Great Evil that rouses in the East.
Another part where Tolkien uses the weather is in the battle at Helm’s Deep. Before the battle starts, the night has come and the Helm’s defenders are unable to see the enemy. Then a storm comes and in the lightings Legolas, with his elfish sight, sees where the panoplies of the Enemy are easy to be stricken. So he provides the Defenders with helpful information. The weather here comes as a help for those who still serve the Good upon the world.
In many other of his books Tolkien uses the weather for various reasons. In these two books the use of it is greater and carries many and meaningful messages. Anyone who wants to say that has wholly and fully understood how an author can use the weather and which are his purposes, must read some of Tolkien’s masterpieces!!!
One of the greatest authors of the 20th century, named John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, mostly known due to the block-buster “The Lord of the Rings” based to his book-trilogy, has extensively used the weather in his various masterpieces and in the next lines, a focused analysis follows.
The Silmarillion.
In this book, Tolkien describes how the world of Arda was born. This world consists of Valinor, the deathless land of the Valar, the greatly tortured Middle Earth, Numenor, the land of the Mortal Sea-Kings and the Endless Void. The greatest part of this story takes place in Middle Earth, Valinor and Numenor.
In the days of the Two Trees in Valinor, (which were days of prosperity and endless joy) the weather was always sunny, the morning breeze was caressing the deathless shores and the night aura was bringing sea-smells. There was never rain in that land and the sky was always bright and clear.
Here, the weather comes to depict the bliss of the Blessed Realm and the power of the Valar. The perfect weather also indicates the happiness of the Realm plus it is so perfect that by its own perfection prepares the reader about the dark and sorrowful change that is about to follow.
And this change does occur having disastrous effects upon the Blessed Realm and the Firstborn. So when dark Morgoth and his faithful companion Ungoliant the Spider destroy the two trees, a dark cloud covers the sky and the sun does not shine with the same intense way as it used to do. Rain comes too.
But the best weather description comes in the end of the book where Akkalabeth or mostly known Numenor, comes to its end: Men want to claim immortality so they prepare for battle against the Valar. They, in the full shape of their wrath, cause great thunders, disastrous storms and lightings to come upon the Numenorians. But they do not stop here: they sink Numenor in the abyss of the sea and at that time, great and wild wind destroys the Men’s fleet and terrible waves cover the
Here the weather comes both as a punishment to those who did not respect the allegiance between the Mortal and the Immortal and as a hallowing means by which the Valar cleaned Arda by those of the Men who were deeply corrupted.

- “The sun is trying to come out” when it is cloudy and you can just see the sun’s ring through the clouds
- If you have been abroad the first question you are asked by a Brit is “How was the weather?”
- You just meet someone for the first time, you get introduces… and start chatting …. I bet that you will start talking about the weather in less than 10 min
It is clearly a British thing to talk about the weather … constantly, even if the weather is bad or good or neutral. This was one of the first things I noticed since I moved over here in 1999 …. The second thing it was how many strange words (Remember English is not my first language and I only had the First Certificate in English when I came here) to describe the weather and in particular rain… have you come across any of them: damp, wet, smirr, spots, drizzle, shower, rain, downpour, torrential, cataract?? Ok, quite a few of them are used primarily in Scotland, as this is where I stayed most of my years, but still, try to count them … 10 – On the contrary, in Greek we can count an equivalent amount of words describing a sunny day, sunshine or how hot it is!! Who will try to find a few and post them at the blog?
[A Swedish friend of mine told me once that in Sweden there are at least 10 words to describe snow…, yes, snow… depending on its colour, when it fell and its quality for skiing…I visited Stockholm a few weeks ago and indeed this is the case. I can think of only one Greek word to describe snow…. Help!!!!]
As time passes by, I am getting used to this custom and I have also started to talk about the weather …. But again, when my parents (especially grandparents!!) call me they also talk about the weather in
How about in

Ps. I have to admit that my favourite word for rain is “drizzle” – Scottish people pronounce it with an extra touch of “R” – basically, when it drizzles it is like someone sprays on you…you cannot hold an umbrella as most commonly it will be windy at the same time, so you just walk with a hat or a hood on… the raincoat is elementary my Dear Friend Watson!
