#MEwx Windy, wind chills to deal with and sun with how barometric pressure affects your blood sugar
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 mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 30s. Winds are Northwest 15 to 25 mph gusting to 45 mph.
Tonight we’ll have partly cloudy conditions with lows in the lower 20s. Winds will be Northwest 10 to 15 mph gusting to 30 mph.
We didn’t receive any rain or snow here over the past 24 hours.
The wind is Northwest between 2.5 MPH and 25.5 MPH.
The Relative pressure is 29.57, the Absolute pressure is 29.37 and rising with a weather graphic indicating sun and a few clouds.
Visibility is 10.0 miles / 16.1 kilometers with
The UV index is 1 placing the average person at low risk and the solar radiation reading is 113.9W/m2. Sunrise is 6:09 AM, sunset is 5:33 PM, moonrise is 4:36 PM and Moonset is x:xx PM. The moon is Waxing Gibbous and is 95% illuminated. We’ll have 11 hours 25 minutes of daylight today. The next Full Moon is on March 9 with our next new moon being on March 21, 2023 .
Here’s an interesting post about Barometric Pressure and your blood sugar content.
Blood Sugar
When the pressure drops during a cold front, it causes the viscosity, or thickness, of the blood to increase, said Jennifer Vanos, assistant professor in geosciences at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, in an interview with weather.com
"Diabetics will have more trouble controlling their blood sugar during cold fronts," she said.
Rapidly dropping blood sugar could also trigger a migraine attack. Reactive hypoglycemia is a condition in which your blood sugar falls quickly, and it usually happens when the sugar rush from high-carb or high-glucose foods wears off. It's one of the least understood, but very real, migraine triggers.
When blood sugar dips as a result of a change in the environment, it can produce what is called low barometric pressure fatigue.
