We also don't talk enough about the mental impact of living in one of the worst weather on the planet. Every other day is rainy, dark and foggy.

I’ll never forget the sense of wellbeing I felt after my first “sun holiday” further south, it was revelatory.

I live somewhere with similar weather and I don't feel like the weather is getting me down... Until there's a sunny day and I'm 10x more productive and happy.

The strawberries are good down there too.

You don't have to move very far to see a meaningful difference either. The difference in weather between the north of Ireland and the south of England is staggering. The proper summers there largely make up for the miserable winters. No so in Ireland sadly. It sounds mad but the wonderful English weather is one of the main things that would stop me moving back to Ireland.

I would love to live in that climate but that's not where the high-paying tech jobs and somewhat-affordable housing are. Instead I have to be in a climate where it's a blistering 105F for 3 straight months (arguably equally as depressing).

You have no idea what lack of sunlight does to a person. Cloudy and dreary every day is far more depressing than sunshine all the time. Try it.

It’s cliche, but the green makes a big difference if you’re near it.
