Really though, unless the leather is of local origin it can have no
relation whatsoever to the weather, past, present, or future, in your
area.

I am not sure that makes any difference - I do not think that the chemically
treated hide of a dead animal retains any links with the habitat of the
living animal.
What leather may do, regardless of its country of origin, is respond to the
local humidity - much like Joe's seaweed (brings back some childhood
memories of seaweed hanging by the back door).

Has anyone ever done any studies btw ..... seaweed near to a weather station
? Just a thought (:
