Many people claim they can feel a storm coming in their joints. Feline and human studies confirm that changes in barometric pressure affect our bodies.
Joint Tissue Expansion and Pressure Changes
As atmospheric pressure drops before a storm, the weight of the air on joint linings decreases, allowing tissues to expand and trigger pain nerves.
Why Pressure Drops Cause Migraines
Changes in air pressure can disrupt fluid balances in the head, triggering sudden sinus headaches and migraines in sensitive individuals.
Track local pressure drops. Monitor readings using UK Weather, and keep the UK Weather application on hand.
