Cabin Fever

Here's something to consider. Can the heat and dryness of this summer be seen as oppressive as the cabin fever we experience in January and February? It seems to have the same effect, causing us to stay indoors to escape it, while giving us a sort of stir-craziness because we can't go out due to UV factors and the heat and humidity that beats down on us. I am not complaining, mind you, but I am proposing that different weather patterns can have a variety of effects on us.
