The woman predicted rain, storms thanks to ... headache

Meteorologists sometimes have false predictions, but Shakira Robson can always say exactly when a heavy rain will occur, based on the headache that appears to her.

The 29-year-old mother - nicknamed the "weather rush" by her friends - can even say big or small rain based on the intensity of her pain. This change took place only after she gave birth to her son, now 4 years old.

"At first it was an interesting game. I texted my friends to warn them to bring the umbrella out when the headache appeared - but when those messages were always accurate, I thought I had to control this. I made a chart for several weeks and marked the time when the pain started, and when it happened, I was like a barometer, I could tell if it was going to rain, and how long the rain will last, " said Robson, a businesswoman in Newcastle, England.

"If it was a torrential rain or a storm, the pain was much stronger and could last more than 12 hours," DailyMail said.

Nearly half of people with headaches like Robson believe the pain is due to changes in temperature or air pressure. But, scientists, despite knowing this relationship, still can't explain why.

Last year, a US study of more than 7,000 patients found that the number of hospitalized patients with severe headaches increased to 7.5% every time the temperature rose 5 degrees C.

Robson had met troubles with her constant and heavy headaches, so much so that she had to go to the hospital once. Now, she's used to it. She takes 9 pills a day and changes her diet to avoid alcohol and processed foods.
