Maybe it is not accurate... i think the hot countries are less developed because when the weather is beautiful, sunny, cloudless and hot, its far better to go to the beach than to work or do any "construtive" thing... (and i talk it from my own experience... as i live in a hot place with MANY beaches... and people actually DOES it... )

But i also like cold and rainy days... they are SO good for staying in bed just listening the rains sound...
