Members overwhelmingly agreed that weather significantly impacts fibromyalgia flares, with cold temperatures, humidity, and especially barometric pressure changes being the most commonly reported triggers. Several members shared that they feel worse during seasonal transitions, on damp or rainy days, or when the barometer drops, while some noted that extreme heat and humidity also cause problems. A recurring theme was the idea of relocating to a warmer, drier, or more stable climate, with recommendations including San Diego for year-round consistency and avoiding overly humid areas like Dallas.

I too find the weather is a huge factor for Fibro. When I first got it years ago, my doctor asked if I was a seasonal depressant as I got so sore in the fall and into winter! Now after having it so long, I also get really bad if it's too hot out as well plus of course in dampness! So now I just hope for dry, 60-70 degree weather and hope for the best! Again, I truly believe Fibro gets worse the longer you have it!!!

For me, definitely - however, it’s more about the barometric pressure and not so much cloudy/sunny. When the barometric pressure is close to 29.9, I usually have a fibro flare up. I’ve also found that drastic changes in the weather affect me as well as dampness in the air.

It is usually the barometric pressure changes in the climate which cause the flare ups. Others who go to the physical therapy pool I do, say they have the same problem with barometer changes.

I absolutely sure that climate/weather plays a huge role for Fibro. I feel always worse when is cold. Here, in the North East is cold and sometimes can be very cold and pretty nasty. Can't wait when my husband retire so we can move to warmer climate to our daughter in southern California.
Good luck to everyone, my love.
