In Iceland we have a word for feeling really guilty for staying inside on a sunny day, because they are so rare and precious. We call it "sólviskubit" and it sounds a lot like "samviskubit" which means having a guilty conscious.
And I am suffering from a sólviskubit right now.
You can also have a "mammviskubit", which means feeling guilty for not being a good enough mother. I get those too.

We dont have a word for that but as a mother i feel you
Well I am sorry that you're experiencing that, but I'm also delighted by that concept and knowing that word now.
I mean, I could go outside, but I am really tired, so I will just have to live with the consequences.
As a southern californian in the tail of June, I relate very hard to "it's nice outside and I should appreciate it, but I am just too tired"
Also my allergies have been so terrible it saps energy like wild
It's a balmy 13.5° outside!
If it's anywhere near as hot as it is here 99°F(37°C) I would say don't feel guilty.
Moved from Phoenix to Virginia and I feel that all summer. But, opposite I guess? Not lethally hot outside so I should be out doing something.
Have that guilt in Minnesota too.
Is there a related word for the resentment of having to be indoors on a sunny day for work or appointments?
Nope. And businesses often close due to “sun” on good weather days.
Great word - takk fyrir! ☺️
I adore your country so much.
Looking forward to my next visit.
Don’t and enjoy the freedom of choosing and the feeling of being at the right place at the right moment ; )
We need that to be a common word here in Oregon. Don’t need it today since it’s a drizzly June day.
Totally fine with staying indoors on a sunny day. Less sure about a sunny evening.
