Sensitivity to Weather Changes: A Single Trick to Enhance Tolerance

The German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) offers a valuable resource for individuals sensitive to weather changes. The national meteorological service provides official weather warnings, forecasts, and data, including warnings for severe weather, heat, and UV exposure. For those who are weather-sensitive, DWD offers weather warnings and alerts that help prepare for potentially dangerous or extreme weather conditions.

These alerts are displayed on an easy-to-read map of Germany, which provides information on possible effects on general well-being, asthma, and rheumatic and cardiovascular complaints. The map filters information by selection, allowing users to focus on specific health concerns.

Prof. Martin Scherer, the director of the Institute and Polyclinic for General Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), emphasises the importance of understanding and managing weather sensitivity. According to Prof. Scherer, rapid changes in temperature, air pressure, or humidity can challenge the body, potentially affecting one's well-being, mood, and performance.

Circulatory problems, dizziness, and general discomfort can result from weather sensitivity. Personal factors such as stress or working conditions can contribute to weather sensitivity. Weather sensitivity can potentially affect the autonomic nervous system and cause symptoms.

The mucous membranes can dry out, making one more susceptible to infections due to low temperatures and dry air. Low temperatures and dry air can potentially weaken the immune system. Spending a lot of time indoors, such as in an office, can exacerbate weather sensitivity symptoms due to less movement and less time outdoors.

However, there are simple steps that can help manage weather sensitivity symptoms. Getting outside and moving around can be effective in managing symptoms. Daily walks in any weather can help the body adapt to temperature changes and better cope with them. If weather-related problems persist for a longer period, a general practitioner (GP) can be consulted.

The German Weather Service provides weather sensitivity hazard indices on its website, which estimates the predicted weather's effect on the health of weather-sensitive people using a simple color scale. These indices can help individuals plan their day and take necessary precautions to manage their symptoms.

In conclusion, understanding and managing weather sensitivity is crucial for maintaining good health. By staying informed, taking simple steps to manage symptoms, and consulting a GP when necessary, individuals can better cope with weather changes and enjoy a higher quality of life.
