bright starry sky and cold, sunny days. Years ago I mentioned it to a
doctor - not as a worry, just in passing - and he looked at me as if I was
barking. But I'm sure there's some sort of relationship between one and
the other.

Yes I've noticed this. I always get a head ache just before a thunder
storm. Apparently the difference in the pressure being exerted on you
by the atmosphere between high and low pressure is about a ton. The
theory is that we all feel much lighter when there is low pressure.


?? A very low pressure might get down to 940 mb and you occassionally get
highs above 1040 but not much, I make that a difference of 100 mb which
is a very small pressure nothing like a ton.
