Have you ever experienced some chronic pain just to understand that you could predict weather by it?

According to an experiment, around 70% of people suffering from chronic pain would change their plans based on weather-related pain forecasts.

The research surveyed over 4,600 individuals and found that almost 90% of migraine sufferers and 65% of people with other conditions believed that weather affects their pain levels.

How it was discovered

Specialists did a study to see if people would be interested in a pain forecast based on the weather.

The study found that 71% of people with migraines and 65% of people with other types of pain would change what they do if there was a weather-based pain forecast.

These people want a tool that can predict how likely they are to have pain based on the weather.

Why it's important

Scientists think it's really important to make a forecast that can tell us if the weather will cause pain.

The study showed that many people want this kind of forecast.

But more research is needed to make sure the forecast is accurate and helpful.

We also need to understand more about how the weather affects pain.
