Weather is the factor nobody can change and almost nobody writes down. AnxietyMe collects it for your city every day, shows a card on Home when the pressure drops, and tests each weather factor against your attacks, so you find out whether a hot, stuffy day matters for you or not.
Across 3.5 million US emergency visits, days of extreme heat went with 7% more visits for anxiety, stress-related and somatoform disorders.
Nori-Sarma et al., JAMA Psychiatry 2022Location is read at city level only and used for weather and altitude alone. Pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, UV and thunderstorm days are switched on when you allow location; pollen and air quality (PM2.5, PM10 and ozone) are available in Data if you want them. Each day is stored and plotted under Monitor and Environment.
Home compares today's pressure for your city with yesterday's and shows a card with both numbers when it has fallen by 10 hPa or more. It is a daily comparison of stored values, not a live barometer, and you can hide it from Home. There is no push for it.
Pressure, temperature and humidity high and low, UV, altitude and altitude change are collected triggers. What Happened then shows whether any of them went with your attacks, or that there is no link. Under Monitor and Environment a Premium card lists the next seven days of weather for your city.
Monitor and then Environment: the day's conditions at the top with a thunderstorm banner on storm days, a list for temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, UV, altitude and altitude change, and the history with your attacks laid over it. The seven-day weather card sits there too, and the pressure drop card appears on Home on the day it applies.
Location, at city level only, never your exact address, used for weather and altitude alone. Skip it and the weather layer stays empty while everything else carries on. Pollen and air quality are off until you switch them on in Data; the seven-day weather card is part of Premium.
Barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, UV index, thunderstorm days, altitude and altitude change, plus pollen and air quality if you switch them on.
For some people hot days and attacks seem to go together, for many they do not. AnxietyMe does not assume either: it compares your own attack days with the weather and reports a link, never a cause.
Weather needs it. You can skip it, and the weather layer stays empty while everything else carries on. Only city-level location is used.
