Here are several articles on this topic.* The bottom line is that there appear to be two accepted weather-related causes of increased arthritis pain:
* Rapidly falling barometric pressure, such as during the onset of stormy weather, especially with high humidity, and
* To a lesser extent, colder temps.
High humidity by itself does not seem to have a recognized influence on joint pain.
But different people react to various weather and climate changes differently.
