Yes, weather conditions like humidity and changes in barometric pressure (air pressure) that come with rainy weather can affect lupus symptoms. High humidity in particular can make people with lupus feel more tired and drained. Some MyLupusTeam members have reported feeling more lethargic when humidity levels are high. When barometric pressure changes during rainy weather, it can affect your body's internal pressure, potentially leading to:
• Increased joint pain
• More swelling
• General fatigue and weakness

If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to contact your doctor to discuss management strategies for weather-related flares.
