"I know allergies are flaring up everywhere this time of year thanks to the trees and flowers blooming and the increasingly warmer temps, but the weather can affect your health way beyond allergies. Where I live in New York, it&amp;#039;s been raining and humid for four days straight. And I&amp;#039;ve felt like I&amp;#039;ve had my own personal raincloud parked right over my face. My head and neck are achy and literally feel heavy\u2013 not to mention my eyes being puffy. Turns out headaches are linked to low barometric pressure and hot weather\u2014both of which we&amp;#039;re experiencing right now. How do I know this? I signed up for alerts from a relatively new website, mediclim.com, which tracks barometric pressure, temperature, humidity and how they affect your health. When the weather forecast means I&amp;#039;m prone to getting headaches, I get an email alert from Mediclim warning me that I might not be feeling great in the next day or so. (You can customize the service by signing up for alerts pertaining to your personal conditions.) Even if there&amp;#039;s not much I can do about the weather, I feel a bit better knowing that my symptoms truly aren&amp;#039;t all in my head. -Amy Brightfield, Health Director "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
