Heat or cold waves can be life-threatening - Can Rain, Heat, or Pressure Really Make You Sick? A New Documentary Investigates

A new documentary is set to explore how weather affects our health. ARD Knowledge: Does the Weather Make Me Sick? will air on ARD at 10:50 PM on Monday, December 8. Science journalist Lena Ganschow leads the investigation into whether rain, heat, or pressure changes really make us ill.

Millions of people suffer from migraines, yet the causes remain unclear. Some studies suggest shifts in air pressure may trigger severe headaches. Researchers in Japan have also examined possible links between weather patterns and these debilitating attacks.

The programme will provide insights into how different weather conditions impact health. Viewers can tune in to ARD on December 8 to learn more about the science behind these effects. The findings may help those who suffer from weather-related symptoms better understand their triggers.
