Bioweather describes the relationship between weather and the human body. The German Weather Service (DWD) publishes special danger indices for people who are particularly sensitive or sensitive to the weather.
For people with cardiovascular problems, there are special cards that indicate weather sensitivity when blood pressure is low or high. In asthmatic illnesses, a strong cold front, which cools down, can cause more symptoms. It has not yet been conclusively clarified whether the weather really influences the pain of sufferers. The DWD website contains bioweather forecasts with various danger indices. These forecasts can help those sensitive to weather plan their everyday lives and thus improve their quality of life, says Kathrin Graw from the DWD Human Biometeorology Department. The map shows either “no influence’, a “low risk”, a’high risk’ or a ‘positive influence” for the different regions. Bavaria is assigned area 11 and the weather service is based in Munich.
