Steve Monday on wellness impacts:

“Periods of low pressure and damp weather often bring more aches, sinus headaches, and fatigue. While not everyone feels it, those who do may want to pace activities and allow extra rest during the wettest days.”

Quick Tips for Relief

• Stay Hydrated: Keeps joints and muscles moving more easily.

• Gentle Activity: Light stretching can reduce stiffness on rainy days.

• Indoor Air: Use a dehumidifier if indoor dampness adds to sinus or joint discomfort.
