Suggestion for the National Weather Service

Barometric pressure drops of can trigger migraines in some people. Arthritis flare-ups too.


On Wednesday 11 November the pressure where I live was quite high. It had been predicted to go to 1023 hPa by mid-afternoon but I don't have a screenshot. Now tomorrow morning is supposed to be 1003 hPa. 

A drop of 20 points over 48 hours is significant. I am already (writing this Thursday morning 12 November) feeling it in my bones — like where I broke my fibula in 2006. And the pain in my finger joints is flaring up... Not that I am really complaining, since st least I'm still on the sunny side of the sod. 

See that coastal flood warning on the weather screenshot above? That's our Weather Service. They try to do good. They want to do good. So here's a suggestion. Predicted drops in barometric pressure could trigger a NWS Weather Advisory that sensitive individuals should be aware of possible weather complications. That way, mental awareness might help calm an otherwise mysteriously building sense of pain, dysphoria, and doom, and overall outcomes inprove. 

In the meantime, keep an eye on the weather glass.
