For the past week or so, the weather here has been mainly wet, windy and much colder; around this time I noticed that my joints were more painful and increasingly stiff. I know I was already flaring but there is a longstanding belief that climate has an effect on arthritis; that cool, damp weather leads to painful joints and I've always wondered if there was any truth to it.

The colder weather has just started to take hold in the UK and once again I'm seeing lots of comments about it effecting peoples' joints and pain levels, so I thought I'd repost this Poll from last year.
