    No, it's more the feeling of "thunder coming"  with no cloud or thunder

    Headaches and feeling blergh are associated with pressure and humidity but if your symptoms don’t seem to correlate then maybe it is more to do with dehydration or even another trigger like food, hormones or air quality. 


    Sinus congestion, or even an allergy could be to blame too. 

    I hope it doesn’t do that ‘close’ thing as it hots-up this weekend. I often have a headache just before it thunders (so due Tuesday night here). 

    Keep cool and hydrated folks.

    Nothing ‘close’ here,  we’ve had to shut the door as the wind is quite chilly and one of the doors just slammed shut in the wind.
    I’m sure the hot weather will only last a couple of weeks,  we used to have lovely hots summers shat seemed to go on and on,  or was that just young person I me falsely  remembering. 
    I couldn’t plant anything out until mid June,  now it’s only mid July and people are complaining,  big, big story on the news!

    London looks like it will be closing on 40oC next week. Records sure to be broken. Quite a bit hotter than Jamaica at the moment.

    I think my conclusion is that things are - as ever - complicated. There is lot more to 'weather' and 'room feel' than given air pressure weather site stats and given air pressure stats. There must be a tonne of other factors at play.

    I'm currenly sitting in apparently  60% humidity (not very high) with a breeze and regular pressure stated and it feels like Singapore; we're swimming through the air.
