Weather Adaptability - A Single Strategy to Enhance Your Resilience
The German Weather Service (DWD) has introduced a useful tool for those who are sensitive to weather changes. The DWD map provides weather sensitivity hazard indices, which can help weather-sensitive individuals manage their health and well-being.
Personal factors like stress or working conditions can make some people more sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Working in an office, with less movement and less time outdoors, can exacerbate weather sensitivity. However, the DWD map can help alleviate these challenges.
The map uses a simple color scale to assess the impact of the forecast weather on the health of weather-sensitive individuals. Green indicates a positive impact, yellow a neutral impact, and red a negative impact. The map provides information on potential effects on general well-being, asthmatic diseases, and rheumatic and cardiovascular complaints.
Daily walks can potentially help alleviate symptoms of weather sensitivity. Prof. Martin Scherer, director of the Institute and Policlinic for General Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), states that these activities can help the body adapt to temperature changes and better withstand them.
The map shows current influences and forecasts for the near future. It is updated regularly to reflect current weather conditions and forecasts. If weather-related problems persist for an extended period, it is recommended to consult a primary care physician.
Prof. Dr. med. Jens Bohlken, the head of the Institute and Polyclinic for General Medicine at the UKE, has spoken about weather sensitivity and its effects on health. He states that these conditions can lead to circulatory problems, dizziness, or general discomfort. Consulting a primary care physician can help identify if weather conditions are causing symptoms.
The DWD map is accessible on the German Weather Service's website. It is a valuable resource for weather-sensitive individuals, helping them make informed decisions about their activities based on the forecast weather.
