You heard correctly about the inversion of poles but that has no relation to the earth's gravity. So, to the best of my knowledge, the gravity is not affected but weather is affected.

No. The earth's gravity and magnetism have nothing to do with each other. Every object has a gravitational pull, whether or not it is magnetic.
If gravity DID stop for a few seconds, the centrifugal force from the rotation would send everything flying off into space.

Gravity has nothing to do with the magnetic poles.
If gravity was suspended for a second the earth would become a mini super-nova and blast apart into space.

Gravity and electromagnetism are two completely different, unrelated forces. What the Earth's magnetic field does or does not do has no effect on gravity. As far as anyone can tell, interrupting gravity is simply impossible anyway.

gravity is produced by the mass of the earth and the ripple it puts in the fabric of space, since when the poles switch it dosent change the mass, then technically gravity should not be affected. Hope that helps

wow...sounds fun. A few seconds of floating around would rock my world! Seriously doubt it will happen :P
