A report in 1983 showed that IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. That wind could help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. A recent report shows that students in many schools of the US often get lower marks in exams in the hot months of the year(July and August)Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold days. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on lowpressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today?
