Anyone else getting tired of weather triggers

[Cindy Wells]

Back in May, we had enough rain to delay work on the farm. July and the
beginning of August are continuing the pattern. Most of the rain has
been in really neat thunderstorms (2" in one hour last Thursday).

As a result, I've been getting headaches nearly every day. (They usually
go away for a while after a nap; then return with the next round of
thunder.)

The weather forecast says that the current pattern will persist at least
for another week and maybe longer.

(of course the weather is interrupting my sleep patterns as well. The
booms and blaring thunderstorm warnings on the weather radio at 3 AM are
adding to the trigger count. Since tornadoes can drop out of the storms,
I'm not turning off the radio.)

I really feel your pain...it seems when these patterns change, so do the
migraines...intensity and frequency.

I'm finally getting a break; those in Colorado and the panhandles of OK
and TX and parts of the south-east aren't. The weather has switched
around - clear and cooler than normal - this week. By midweek, we'll
finally get near normal highs. It's baling time again and then I go back
to weeding. I'll get plenty of exercise outside. If I'm careful, I'll
avoid the dehydration trigger.

Cindy, well it's hitting the time of year, like spring, when the roller
coaster starts. We had 99 degrees in northern colorado the other day, but
looking forward to a cooling trend, with rain...even if that means a bit of
a head splitting start. It's been a hot few weeks, and dry, so a little
breather is welcome.

We need a little rain here too. With luck it won't be as bad. Getting
the daily or alternate day head splitters are frustrating.

Sorry I've been away so long Cindy, At least the last couple of months have settled down to closer to normal, the heat and humidity a killer at times, but the weather patterns seem to have settled back to southern MN's normal. The first part of this year was some of the weirdest weather I've seen here in my life. On New Years Day my little sister sent me a photo she took that morning of a violet blooming outside in the flower garden outside her house, we live in Minnesota! Even though most times my cousin 125 miles northwest of me got every bit as snow, about 70 to 80% of the precipitation we had this last winter came as rain rather than snow, and then we have a blizzard on May 12th that dumped a foot of snow. Promptly after that for the next month from the weather you would have thought we moved to Seattle, I've heard of temperate rain forests before, but never a temperate rain prairie, every day bouncing back and forth between clear and sunny to at least showers, more often thunderstorms got old in a hurry.

With global climate change, this year may end up being representative of
the new normal.

(hoping it won't be the case - I hated the aching head that came with it.)

Well reading this so long after the post, I'm surprised at how close this
was to the timing of our flood here in northern colorado. Amazing how time
flies, but how the weather changes.

I hope winter is good to all of us...we could use a little "good".
