Weather & Joints: Not just superstition after all?
People feel weather changes in their bodies because storm systems are accompanied by lower air pressure. Air pressure exists inside the human body as well. The pressure inside the body is approximately 15 lbs per square inch as is normal outside air pressure. When both numbers are equal most people don’t feel anything.
However, when the air pressure drops, the pressure on the inside of the body is greater than outside. The air on the inside then tries to get out because air flows from high pressure to low pressure. This causes swelling and discomfort in some people’s joints, especially in the elderly or people who have suffered injuries to those areas.

Child with cleft lip and palate
Cleft lip and cleft palate are variations of a type of clefting congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development during gestation. A cleft is a fissure or opening—a gap. It is the non-fusion of the body’s natural structures that form before birth. Approximately 1 in 700 children born have a cleft lip and/or a cleft palate.
A cleft lip or palate can be successfully treated with surgery, especially so if conducted soon after birth or in early childhood.
