How many people in the world are weather-sensitive?
GUIDE

How many people in the world are weather-sensitive?

There is no single global count, but national surveys are consistent: in the best-studied countries roughly a third to two-thirds of adults call themselves weather-sensitive — about half of the population in Germany across 2001–2021.

GUIDE

Is weather sensitivity an illness or not?

Weather sensitivity is real and common, but it is not a formally recognised standalone disease — it is best understood as a trigger that can worsen conditions you already have.

STORM PASSING

Magnetic conditions are easing and calm is returning

The geomagnetic disturbance has passed, and space weather is now settling back to quiet levels. Weather-sensitive people are more likely to feel a gradual recovery than any new impact in the near term.

What is weather sensitivity?
GUIDE

What is weather sensitivity?

Weather sensitivity is the tendency to feel changes in the weather — such as falling air pressure, temperature swings or geomagnetic storms — in your body and mood. It is a real, widely studied phenomenon that affects roughly one in three people, more often women and older adults.

Quiet conditions now, with a brief disturbance expected soon

Space weather is calm at the moment, but a minor geomagnetic storm is expected later today. The main impact window looks short, with calmer conditions returning afterward.

What is a “barometric” headache?
GUIDE

What is a “barometric” headache?

A barometric headache is a headache — usually a migraine — triggered by changes in atmospheric pressure and the weather. Here's what science says about why falling pressure can set one off, and how to spot the pattern.

Quiet space weather continues, with only minor fluctuations ahead
OUTLOOK

Quiet space weather continues, with only minor fluctuations ahead

Geomagnetic conditions remain calm to slightly active, and no storm level is expected. The coming days look steady, so weather-sensitive people are more likely to notice a normal, settled pattern than a strong disturbance.

How is altitude above sea level related to atmospheric pressure and wellbeing?
GUIDE

How is altitude above sea level related to atmospheric pressure and wellbeing?

The higher you go, the lower the air pressure and the less oxygen each breath delivers — here is what that does to the body, when people start to notice it, and how it compares to everyday weather-related pressure changes.

Can changes in atmospheric pressure make your ears feel blocked?
GUIDE

Can changes in atmospheric pressure make your ears feel blocked?

Yes. Your ear balances pressure through the Eustachian tube, and when outside pressure changes faster than the tube can keep up, a mismatch across the eardrum makes ears feel full or muffled — most noticeably during flights, dives or altitude changes, and during weather swings when a cold or allergies already narrow the tube.

How quickly does the body react to a sudden change in atmospheric pressure?
GUIDE

How quickly does the body react to a sudden change in atmospheric pressure?

It depends on which part of you is responding: ears equalise pressure within seconds, while headaches and other symptoms tend to build over a window of several hours — and only in weather-sensitive people.

Why does wellbeing worsen before rain or a thunderstorm?
GUIDE

Why does wellbeing worsen before rain or a thunderstorm?

Before rain or a storm, several things change at once — barometric pressure falls, humidity climbs, and the temperature shifts — and sensitive people can feel it as headaches, pressure in the head, fatigue or aching joints. Here's the calm, science-based explanation.

STORM PASSING

Geagnetic conditions are easing and calmer weather is returning

The geomagnetic disturbance has passed, and activity is now close to quiet levels. Weather-sensitive people are likely to feel recovery in the coming hours, with the next few days looking calm.
