Studies hav

20、e shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered. If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking

21、that the weather is random. In fact, the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe.
