the fluid in you joints is hydroscopic & will compress & expand with changes in barometric pressure so when the weather changes the fluid expands or contracts making your joints uncomfortable.

This is why they send people with arthritis to the desert, it's not the dryness but, relativity speaking, the lack of change in the weather/barometric air pressure keeps the joints from swelling as the air pressure increases or grinding bone on bone when the air pressure decreases

It is not raining here but when it does or is about to I sure feel it. My body hurts more when the weather is humid and wet than dry. Although I get more cluster headaches when it is hot outside.
