does temperature affect speed?

My bow is about 10 to 15 years old. It's maxed out at about 73 lbs. I'm shooting 30" 2216s at about 235 fps. If it's 90 degrees out & I'm perfectly sighted in at 40 yds., will my "point of impact" change in 40 degree weather?

I don't think so either. Live and hunt in SD and temperature extremes are the norm here. I don't see any difference in my bow throughout the year. Hits the same at 90 as it does at 20 below. Nothing scientific there, just an observation.
