Tips for Weather Sensitivity Adaptation: A Practical Approach
The German Weather Service has introduced a new tool to help individuals understand the potential impact of clima conditions on their health. This innovative feature, available on their website, provides a map displaying the weather sensitivity hazard indices for specific regions across Germany.
The indices are determined by factors such as regional clima conditions, typical weather patterns, local topography, and seasonal variations. These factors, combined with personal factors like stress or working conditions, can make some people more susceptible to weather and clima-related health issues.
The map offers filter settings to view current and future weather influences, making it easier for users to plan their day or week according to their sensitivity levels. The color scale indicates whether the forecast weather has a positive, negative, or no impact on the health of weather and clima-sensitive people.
If weather and clima-related problems persist for a longer period, it is recommended to consult a general practitioner. Conversely, spending more time outdoors and moving around can be helpful in managing weather and clima sensitivity symptoms.
Prof. Martin Scherer, director of the Institute and Policlinic for General Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), emphasises that changes in air pressure, humidity, and temperature can cause circulatory problems, dizziness, or a general feeling of unease.
Moreover, the map provides information on possible effects on general well-being, asthmatic diseases, rheumatic, and cardiovascular complaints. It is crucial to remember that weather and clima sensitivity is a real condition, not just a figment of the imagination.
If weather and clima sensitivity symptoms are severe or persistent, it is strongly advised to consult a healthcare professional. Working in an office, with less movement and less time outdoors, can exacerbate weather and clima sensitivity symptoms.
In conclusion, the new tool from the German Weather Service offers a valuable resource for weather and clima-sensitive individuals, providing them with the ability to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
