I have had Rheumatoid arthritis for as far back as I can remember. I have found that the temperatures experienced seasonally really have no effect on Arthritis flares. Having said that however, if you are having a problem with pain from arthritis you would be wise to dress warmly during cold spells as pain becomes accentuated on the cold. your muscles tense and your body seems to do all the things it should not to relieve pain. Being able to relax is very important when it comes to pain and cold does not help with that at all. But the chance of having more arthritis flares if the weather is cold does not in my experience increase.
