Circulating stress hormones can also sensitize your nerve endings, which could be why some people get chronic pain flare-ups when the air pressure is low. The study authors suggest SVN may rile up your body’s stress system before a storm, making you feel on edge. This study involved mice, but humans also have an SVN. A 2019 animal study suggests drops in atmospheric pressure can activate the superior vestibular nucleus (SVN), a part of your brain that controls balance and perception. If you’ve ever gotten a tingly, uneasy feeling before a storm, that was likely your body sensing a drop in atmospheric pressure. But on short or cloudy days, there’s less light to encourage you to stay awake, so you may feel groggier than usual. In other words, long, bright days can energize you.

High atmospheric pressure and clear skies Mid-range temperatures, usually between 50☏ and 70☏ (10☌ and 21☌)

Low temperatures (below 50☏ / 10☌) or high temperatures (above 70☏ / 21☌) Read on to learn how weather can affect your emotions, who might be most sensitive to weather changes, and how climate change can impact mental health.

Likewise, the hot, humid days of summer could feel downright miserable if you bike or walk to work. If you live in a desert climate, a chilly, breezy day could offer a nice change of pace.
