Every cloud seems to really have a silver lining, for a new study has claimed that gloomy days are good for the brain.
An international team has carried out the study and found that while wet weather makes people feel gloomy, it also sharpens the memory and improves recall power while those who feel good as it's sunny are able to remember less well. It seems counter-intuitive but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they're in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy and carefree, they flunked it.
They randomly placed ten small ornamental objects on the checkout counter, which included plastic animal figures, a toy cannon, a pink piggy bank and four small matchbox-sized vehicles, including a red London bus and a tractor.
