Weather has a strong effect on people.     1    

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 health problem during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.   

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists, the IQ scores of some college students were very high during a storm, but after the storm, their scores were 10% low.     2     Very hot weather, on the other hand, can lower it.

    5     This is according to a recent study carried out by scientist from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that wider noses are more common in warm and wet for long, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry for long.
