i would not say good for them but i have had Arthritis for years and damp weather brings it on worse.


The answer to this would probably vary with the individual. I have suffered with RA since I was about 8. I have lived in -20C climate in extremely hot humid climates and in very dry climates and have found that there was no difference that I could notice one way or the other. However there are people that claim the onset of a weather change brings on arthritic pain, and I believe them. The best thing to do, if you are able is try to spend a bit of time in a dry climate and see if you can notice a difference.

Actually it is good if they live in dry & HOT climates, like the desert southwestern U.S.

Arthritis feels much better with heat and pains awfully with cold. If you have arthritis and live in a cold climate, invest in a heating pad.

I Suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis and have found that the climate I find my self in makes no difference whatsoever to the symptoms of my condition. Hot , cold , humid, wet or dry, I experience the same things. IE I have experience flare ups under all kinds of atmospheric conditions. I must admit however that if I experience a flareup in cold weather the body tends to be a Little more tense as a result of the cold. This makes pain a bit more keen. so to overcome this I have learned to relax the muscles.It is also good in a dry climate because you can get a lot of exercise.It can strengthen your joints and decrease pain too.

You could move to Broken Hill in western NSW Australia, it's dry as a bone there.

The best climate for sufferers of osteoarthritis is a warm, dry climate, but also one that does not experience extremes of temperature. A place like Broken Hill would be inadvisable as the winter nights are very cold. Ideally, find a climate that is dry and temperate, withour extremes.
