How does “my bones hurt when the weather is changing” work? (scientifically)

Recent studies suggest it doesn’t. Studies in 2014 and 2017 study found no correlation between weather changes and arthritis complaints. However, other studies show a weak link between barometric pressure and joint pain, and temperature drop and joint pain. So there’s no definitive answer to your question.
It may be that people simply notice bad weather more and associate it with pain, but don’t make the connection with sunnier weather.
On the other hand, I definitely notice the pain more with the onset of bad weather.
