Those of you who often drive alone to go and go back to work, must often meet people who fight on the road just because their rearview mirror is accidentally knocked over or just because another driver accidentally bumps into the exhaust of a motorbike. Especially if the weather gets hotter because of the hot sun, you feel that not only other people, you also feel easy to be emotional and easily angry. Why do you think that hot weather is easy for you? Find the answer in this article.

Cause people get emotional easily when it's hot

Unlike in Europe or other countries that have four seasons. Indonesia only has summer and rainy seasons, because climate change is happening, you sometimes don't even know when it's summer and when it's wet. There are times when you have to face flooding due to relentless heavy rain. However, there are times when you feel hot weather that feels like burning your head.

Congestion and hot weather is a 'duet' that not only makes you successful so it's easy to get angry on the road, but also makes you easy to get emotional. Did you know, according to research conducted by the University of California, hot weather temperatures have succeeded in raising the level of violence and crime.

Some health experts argue that this is related to a person's psychological reaction. The temperature in the body that increases in the body due to hot weather results in an increase in heart rate, testosterone, and metabolic reactions that can trigger the sympathetic nervous system and activate the fight-or-flight response that makes a person more likely to fight.

The feeling of discomfort a person feels when the weather is hot is also the reason why someone becomes easily emotional. Unlike cold weather, you can watch it using warm clothes or layers of clothing. Hot weather like being able to follow you anywhere. When someone experiences discomfort and feels the pressure caused by something that cannot be controlled, this makes them easily emotional. Anger often throws into something else, like someone who feels annoying on the road.
