"You're going to have a lot of stiffness and pain in the joints anywhere from mild pain to severe pain, depends on the type of arthritis," said Galstad. Galstad says that in turn causes stiffness in the joints and then lack of mobility. He says there are ways to counteract the negative effects of weather. "What people can do is be aware of the weather and if it's going to be changing. Wear the proper clothing. If you keep your joints warm, heat can generally help with arthritis," said Galstad. Some people with arthritis say they know when changing weather is on the way. "The experts state that there really isn't a lot of scientific data to support peoples claims that they can predict the weather," said Galstad. Regardless of whether or not they can predict the weather, people with arthritis can certainly feel the weather. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis affecting more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children.
