Well I have been to Wales today, nice and sunny all the way to the bridge, they charge me to enter Wales, then the rain starts, rains all the way to my customer, and most of the way back to the bridge, once over the bridge by about 10 miles or so the weather is sunny again!
My customer was not in a good mood over the weather, so not a good visit over all.
So yes the weather IMO does alter moods.
There is no such thing as 'luck'. But the saying 'you make your own luck' has a foundation in truth. I'm sure that you are more likely to succeed at something that requires your input and focus if you are in a positive frame of mind. and the opposite is true if you are full of negative feelings. From what I have seen in publications like the New Scientist this seems to be becoming quite well accepted.
The fact that a plan falls through because a friend's car breaks down when you are feeling miserable due to it raining is simply a coincidence. Even if the rain caused the breakdown (water on the electrics) that was caused by the rain, not by feeling miserable.
Mood certainly swings with the weather (I love hard summer rain btw) but luck can't swing cos it doesn't exist. And I do feel blaming bad stuff on luck and good things on luck is daft - most things are outside influences and the rest we can affect.
"God (insert deity of your choice) give me the courage to change what I can, the strength to endure what I must and the wisdom to know the difference". That's 'luck'.
Whilst the (slightly) rational part of me agrees with foxylady, the (much more) emotionally-driven part of me thinks you've got a point Fraser.
Hope things start looking up soon.

I have to say I really don't like hot weather .... I'm a ginger, I burn... people seem so irritable when they're overheated
