In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States Southerners have many heart attacks or other kinds of heath problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some time and very cold at other. Weather changes in February or March. The weather can influence intelligence, for example, in a 1928 study by scientists, the IQ score of undergraduate college students were very high during the hurricane but after the storm, their scores were 10 percent below average. Hurricanes can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can lower it. Students in the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year. Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be bad time for thin people; they usually feel cold during these months. They might feel depressed during cold weather.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-bom Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too laie.
