Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of heart problems in this month. Inthe northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold atother times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weatherchanges in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report byscientists, the IQs of a group students were very high when a very strong windcame, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can helppeople have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make itlower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams inthe hot months of the year (July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a badtime for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They might feelunhappy in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. Atabout 18℃, people become stronger.

Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses inshops on low-air-pressure days. There is a \temperature of about 18 ℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather'sproblem.
