Research shows that the weather, barometric pressure (atmospheric air pressure) and humidity levels all have an impact on joint pain and other flare-ups.
The joints are surrounded by tissues that act almost like balloons. They protect the joints, and when the barometric pressure is high, it presses on the body and prevents the tissues from expanding out. When bad weather is about to set in, the barometric pressure drops, causing the tissues to expand, swell and place pressure on the joints.
