Continuation
Meteorologists forecasted moderate cloud cover and brisk winds across Poland on Saturday, with atmospheric pressure shifts triggering health warnings for weather-sensitive individuals.
In Wrocław, skies were 57% overcast with winds reaching 30 meters per second, while Warsaw saw 72% cloud cover and winds up to 9.3 m/s. Forecasters noted that such conditions often correlate with adverse reactions among meteopaths—people highly sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes. According to medical observations cited in the reports, falling pressure can cause irritability, headaches, and concentration difficulties, whereas rising pressure may elevate blood pressure, posing risks for those with circulatory issues. Studies also link high atmospheric pressure to increased incidence of heart attacks .
Similar patterns were reported in Łódź, where winds of 11.1 m/s and 50% cloud cover were expected to affect weather-sensitive residents, and in Opole, with 31% cloud cover and winds of 7.4 m/s. Meteorological services in both regions emphasized that strong winds and pressure fluctuations often exacerbate symptoms for meteopaths, including migraines and mood swings .
