Abstract
This study examines the influence of weather on subjective well-being during work. Using Partial Proportional Odds Models (PPOM) and the Combined Uniform and Binomial (CUB) model, we explore factors affecting six dimensions of subjective well-being: happiness, meaningfulness, pain, sadness, stress, and fatigue. Findings suggest that temperature positively impacts meaningfulness and reduces negative emotions like sadness and fatigue, while precipitation has the opposite effect. Higher temperatures also appear to reduce uncertainty related to stress; however, overall, temperature has a limited effect on both direct feelings and uncertainty in subjective well-being compared to socioeconomic factors.
