Barometric pressure is also referred to as atmospheric pressure or air pressure. It is the weight or the force of surface air.
The reason for dramatic changes in the weather is a result of the barometric pressure rising and falling which can trigger issues for people with arthritis and headaches.
A barometer is the instrument used to measure this element. So, in some ways, you could say our bodies are a barometer during certain weather cycles. When the barometric pressure rises, typically we see an improvement in conditions. High-pressure results in warmer temps and clear skies. When the pressure falls, it’s a sign of stormy or inclement weather. Low-pressure systems bring around cold air, wind, and rain.
One impact on your body from a drop in barometric pressure is inflammation of the joints, triggering arthritis ailments. Joint fluid reacts to air pressure changes causing arthritis sufferers to notice more stiffness, pain and swelling. Another issue is increased headaches for people diagnosed with sinusitis or migraines. The skull has air pockets that keep the skull light.
