I had always believed, I think, like most of you, that there is a relationship between mood and weather. This is scientific evidence backing this belief:

ABSTRACT - Prior studies on the association between
weather and psychological changes have produced mixed
results. In part, this inconsistency may be because weath-
er's psychological effects are moderated by two important
factors: the season and time spent outside. In two corre-
lational studies and an experiment manipulating partici-
pants' time outdoors (total N = 605), pleasant weather
(higher temperature or barometric pressure) was related
to higher mood, better memory, and "broadened" cogni-
tive style during the spring as time spent outside increased.
The same relationships between mood and weather were
not observed during other times of year, and indeed hotter
weather was associated with lower mood in the summer.
These results are consistent with findings on seasonal af-
fective disorder, and suggest that pleasant weather im-
proves mood and broadens cognition in the spring because
people have been deprived of such weather during the
winter.
This is on the association of weather and perceived severity of illness:

Abstract
Objective. This investigation 1) examined the relationships among actual weather, disease severity, and symptoms for individuals with fibromyalgia, 2) assessed subjects' beliefs about weather affecting their symptoms, and 3) examined differences between individuals with high and low “weather sensitivity.”
Methods. Eighty-four individuals meeting Yunus' criteria for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia participated. Subjects completed the Weather and Pain Questionnaire (WPQ), the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS), the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessing pain. A tender point index and a myalgic score were also obtained.
Results. Subjects reported that weather affected musculoskeletal symptoms predominantly. The strongest relationship was found between weather beliefs and self-reported pain scores. Subjects with high weather sensitivity tended to have more functional impairment and psychological distress.
Conclusions. Individuals with fibromyalgia believe that weather worsens their symptoms, but it is unlikely that physiologic changes are associates with actual weather.
