Weather sensitivity in Bremen: How to protect yourself from the symptoms!

At this time of year, when spring gradually turns into summer, the weather in northern Germany is particularly changeable. As butenunbinnen.de reports, people in Bremen sometimes experience severe temperature fluctuations of over 20 degrees during the day and up to 8 degrees at night. Such weather changes can cause physical symptoms that many describe as “weather-sensitive” or “weather-sensitive.”

Medical meteorologist Andreas Matzarakis from the German Weather Service (DWD) confirms that there are three groups of people in the population. First there are all the people who react to changes in the weather, then the weather-sensitive people with mild health problems such as headaches, and finally the weather-sensitive people, who make up around 15 to 20 percent of the population and for whom the symptoms are more severe.

Symptoms and causes of weather sensitivity

The symptoms of weather sensitivity can vary depending on the age group. Younger people often experience headaches and nervousness, while older people often suffer from cardiovascular disease or rheumatism. These symptoms can worsen with increasing age or if you already have existing illnesses. Tiredness, fatigue as well as respiratory and rheumatic problems are well-known side effects. These findings are supported by the information from zdfheute.de that around a third of people who are sensitive to the weather are affected by complaints that significantly affect their everyday life.

But what are the triggers of these symptoms? Sudden temperature fluctuations, high humidity or sudden darkness are often crucial in winter. Weather changes, especially in spring and autumn, are a real challenge for people who are sensitive to the weather. These extreme weather conditions, be it a heat wave or a low pressure area, increase the risk of health problems and even hospitalizations.

Tips for relieving discomfort

Another interesting development is the introduction of “bio-weather”, a new weather forecast specifically for weather-sensitive and weather-sensitive people. This tiered forecast shows how much weather conditions can affect physical condition. It is divided into four levels: blue stands for positive, green for none, yellow for mild and red for high stress for people sensitive to the weather.
