I do think that rain impacts people's mood. I'm the person whose attitude to life depends on the weather. If it's sunny and bright outside, I'm in a good mood. But if it's rainy, snowy, or rather dark, I'm very sad and not in the mood to do anything. That's why I think that, yes, the weather can really influence people's mood.
