1) Now, let’s see what the weather is like today. In the north of the country, it’s very windy and cold. There is a chance of some rain too, so don’t leave home without your umbrella! The temperature is around 10º centigrade. In the east it’s rainy all day today, I’m afraid. There may be a thunderstorm in the afternoon. The temperature is a bit higher, at around 13º. In the west and middle of the country, the weather is dry but cloudy. So no rain for you, but it is quite windy and the temperature is just 10º.
2) DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was – but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit.
3) Potential consequences of seasonal variation in physical activity levels include decreases in fitness levels, but also the possibility of acquiring an increasingly sedentary lifestyle since periods of infrequent participation in physical activity are linked to becoming physically inactive (10, 11). However, little is known about how lower physical activity levels during winter relate to declines in physical activity participation during adolescence. Moreover, we have little information on factors that relate to less activity during winter. Seasonal variation in physical activity may be the result of changes in weather conditions. Several studies among adults report that poor weather is perceived as a barrier to the practice of physical activity (12, 13, 14) and that daily physical activity levels increase as ambient temperature rises, and decrease with rain and snowfall (15, 16).
