Can you tell when it's going to rain?

I mean besides turning on the weather channel or looking at the clouds in the sky. I get a horrible migraine when the air pressure shifts a lot and suddenly, so I'm usually really accurate at predicting sudden rain and storms. How about you? I've heard of people's bodies aching or legs hurting. Do you have a weird... natural storm forecast thing in your body?

I tore ligaments in my right foot playing basketball in P.E. when I was in middle school, and that foot always ached badly whenever it was going to rain. I've outgrown that, though. I feel sorry for you with your migraines, though. I'm sure you'd rather not have the headaches and watch the weather on TV!

Definately! It never did rain, by the way, but I slept the migraine off.
Ouch that sounds painful! I'm glad it stopped though. Maybe my headaches will stop too. I noticed that it happens a lot more often when I'm upstate in the mountains, so maybe it's also an altitude thing.

usually,i can tell from the air..it starts smelling like rain..well hard to explain,i just guess the air becomes wet and cold and the sky gets cloudy and all...the wind starts to blow,so i realise it is going to rain..most of the times i am right:)

I can usually tell it is going to rain by the smell in the air.

Sometimes I can tell a change in weather is coming. Sometimes it will be rain, but many times it will be cold weather coming. It is because of the osteoarthritis in my knees...they usually start hurting more.

Um. Depends if I'm paying attention and/or what season it is. I don't ache or anthing, and I don't always have to look at the sky. Usually you can feel and smell a storm coming. The temperature drops a few degrees..and usually a cool breeze will drift by. Plus, rain has a distinct smell.
It's not the best way to tell rain's coming since by time you can smell or feel it coming you only have like ten minutes til it gets there..but I like the rain anyways..so..*shrugs* Heh ^_^

I sure can.....my joints freeze up on me and I get a kink in my get-a-along (as my grandmother used to say). However, im interested in the migraines because I get them every once in a while but not when the weather is going to change....at least I never noticed it before. Sometimes though I feel a certain suffocating sensation even tho the sun is shining that could be due to falling barometric pressure...but sometimes the weather remains good where I am but up north there are showers and storms. Who knows.
