#MEwx Temps above freezing, sun and how achy joints help you predict weather
I’ve put up an Ambient WS 5000 weather station where you can view real time weather readings from my location online by clicking here.
This morning we have partly sunny skies becoming mostly cloudy. Highs in the upper 30s with light and variable winds.
Tonight we’ll have clouds with a slight chance of snow in the evening, then a chance of more snow after midnight. Lows in the upper 20s with light and variable winds.
We’ve received roughly 7 inches of snow here over the whole duration of this storm.
The wind is Northwest between 0.0 MPH and 1.8 MPH.
The Relative pressure is 29.86, the Absolute pressure is 29.66 and rising with a weather graphic indicating sun and a few clouds.
Visibility is 10.0 Miles / 16.1 Kilometers with sun and some clouds.
The UV index is 0 placing the average person at low risk and the solar radiation reading is 34.1W/m2. Sunrise is 6:18 AM, sunset is 5:27 PM, moonrise is 11:27 AM and Moonset is 3:17 AM. The moon is Waxing Crescent and is 67% illuminated. We’ll have 11 hours 10 minutes of daylight today. The next Full Moon is on March 9 with our next new moon being on March 21, 2023 .
“When your joints all start to ache, rainy weather is at stake.”
This proverb is closely related to both of my shoulder joints and one hip. Yep, I can relate!
Did you have an old uncle whose bad knee could predict a storm? While there has been more research done on how weather affects humans than there has been on animals, it’s all still just theory.
The hypothesis that is most supported by the scientific community is that low pressure (meaning less force on your body/joints) allows tissue to expand, which can put pressure on your joints. So when your bum knee aches a little more for seemingly no reason, look to the skies and prepare for rain in the next day or so.
