Polands meteopaci report headaches and heart risks as strong winds and pressure shifts hit major cities
Meteorologically sensitive individuals in Poland, known as *meteopaci*, are experiencing heightened discomfort as strong winds and atmospheric pressure shifts sweep across the country on Sunday.
Forecasts for Warsaw, Szczecin, Toruń, Wrocław and Poznań show wind speeds reaching 14.8 to 20.4 meters per second, with cloud cover ranging from 66% to 95%. These conditions are particularly challenging for *meteopaci*, who report irritability, headaches and concentration difficulties when atmospheric pressure drops. Conversely, high pressure can elevate blood pressure, posing risks for those with circulatory issues, according to studies cited in local weather reports .
Research also links high atmospheric pressure to an increased frequency of heart attacks, a concern highlighted in multiple regional weather updates. The forecasts, provided by AccuWeather Inc., cover nearly 60,000 locations in Poland, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C across major cities. Rainfall is expected in several areas, including Warsaw, where 22°C is forecast with intermittent showers .
