Scientific evidence, however, does not support a connection between weather and pain, and concludes that it is largely or entirely due to perceptual errors such as confirmation bias,[1][2] with the possible exception being headaches and migraines.
Anecdotal evidence provided by people such as Monica Seles and widely used expressions such as "aches and pain, coming rains", "feeling under the weather", and "ill health due to evil winds" reinforce the popular opinion that this effect is real,[5] despite the lack of scientific evidence supporting this contention.
The first publication to document a change in pain perception associated with the weather was the American Journal of the Medical Sciences in 1887.
professor of atmospheric sciences Dennis Driscoll is reported as stating: "People need to realize that the pressure changes associated with storms are rather small."
