More like a showerthought, but:

If arachnids are able to detect magnetic fields and react accordingly, are humans also able to do the same?

Anecdotally, I've always had people commenting on how their mood is down when it is storming outside, and that they feel a 'negative energy' that doesn't motivate them to do anything. So I wonder if there is a relation?
