Easy Weather Adaptation Trick Unveiled
The German Weather Service (DWD) has introduced a useful tool for weather-sensitive individuals - the Weather Sensitivity Hazard Indices. These indices are displayed on an easy-to-read map of Germany, allowing users to filter information by selection.
The map assesses the potential impact of the predicted weather on the health of weather-sensitive individuals, using a simple colour scale. It provides information on possible effects on general well-being, asthma, and rheumatic and cardiovascular conditions.
Prof. Martin Scherer, director of the Institute and Polyclinic for General Medicine at UKE, suggests that personal factors like stress or working conditions might contribute to an individual's sensitivity to weather changes. He states that these changes can cause circulatory problems, dizziness, or general discomfort.
Changes in air pressure or humidity can impact well-being, mood, and performance. Rapid drops or rises in temperature can challenge the body. If weather-related symptoms persist for a longer period, consulting a general practitioner can be helpful.
Spending a lot of time indoors, such as in an office, may be a reason for some individuals' bodies to need more time to adapt to temperature fluctuations. However, less movement and less time outdoors can also be harmful but can help in adapting to temperature changes. If you work in an office, it may be beneficial to take breaks for outdoor activity to help adapt to temperature fluctuations.
To find which regions in Germany will be particularly affected in the next few days according to the Weather Sensitivity Index of the DWD, one can consult the official DWD forecasts and warnings published on their website or weather platforms that display this index. The indices provide information on the current influences for today and the near future.
Prof. Scherer also suggests that weather conditions may affect the autonomic nervous system and cause symptoms. He emphasises that it's essential to be aware of these potential impacts and to take necessary precautions to maintain good health.
In summary, the Weather Sensitivity Hazard Indices offered by the DWD provide valuable insight into how the weather might affect the health of weather-sensitive individuals, helping them to prepare and take necessary precautions.
