Health and weather

Around half of the population sees a connection between weather conditions and health and well-being. This phenomenon is known as weather sensitivity.

Many people feel fit and energetic when the sun is shining brightly and the weather is stable with high pressure. But as soon as a low-pressure area approaches, their mood plummets and complaints such as headaches, tiredness and scarring pain start to spread. This phenomenon is known as weather sensitivity. Around half of the population sees a connection between weather conditions and health and well-being. However, it is still unclear exactly how the climate affects the body. Numerous scientists assume that the weather can exacerbate existing illnesses as well as a disturbed sense of well-being.
