Throughout the story, the summer weather influences the mood of love. Nick hosts a tea where Gatsby and Daisy reunite. Initially, the weather is stormy and there is a mood of nervous tension between Gatsby and Daisy, but as the tea progresses the mood lightens: “The sun shone again.[Gatsby] literally glowed”(Fitzgerald 89). The shining sun reflects the moods of Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship. Marking the time of the height of their relationship and beginning to appear when Gatsby and Daisy rekindle their love, the clear weather mirrors the connection. Clear weather remains during times after this tea as Gatsby and Daisy deepen their intimacy. Additionally, Fitzgerald uses the hot weather associated with summer to connect love and poor tempers.
