Why are people who have had broken bones able to “feel it when it’s raining?”
In: Biology
That’s not typically a broken bone thing, typically you can feel rain coming in your joints. People with arthritis are particularly sensitive to it.
Rain and storms are preceded by a low pressure system. The storms and high winds are air moving into that area of low pressure as a way to reach equilibrium.
Anyway. You have an internal body pressure. And the air around you applies external pressure to your body. When a low pressure system forms there is less external pressure. This means you feel the effects of the internal pressure more. This can cause joint swelling or even pain in some cases.
People who “feel the rain coming” actually feel the low pressure system that causes rain and wind.
