Examples

“Whereas meteoropathy is strictly individual, air-conditioning technology homogenizes indoor climates and contributes to the emergence of a monolithic global city culture and correspondingly standardized global urban somas. While meteoropathy illustrates the fragility of the natural body and its involuntary corresspondence with the elements, air conditioning is paradigmatic for climatic voluntarism and the formation of a cultural, normalized body ever more removed from the chaning natural weather forces that alter its feelings and behavior.”

“Symptoms of meteoropathy often occur 1-2 days before or after the arrival of the weather change, rather than at the time of the change itself.”

“Symptoms of meteoropathy include headache, muscle pain, joint pain, general fatigue, weakness, discouragement, apathy, iritability, difficulty concentrating, and insomnia (or sleepiness).”
