天気痛

• 読み: てんきつう
• ローマ字: tenkitsū
• 漢字の分解: 天気 (weather; 天 = sky/heaven + 気 = air/spirit) + 痛 (pain) → weather-triggered pain
• 発音: /teɴ.ki.tsuː/

意味

Weather-related pain; headaches, joint aches, or general malaise triggered by changes in barometric pressure.

天気痛 gained widespread recognition in Japan after weather pain specialist Dr. Sato Jun coined the term and it was picked up by media. Many Japanese people had long experienced worsening symptoms before rain or typhoons but lacked a name for it. The concept validates a common experience and has spawned weather pain forecasts in weather apps, dedicated medications, and an entire awareness movement. Japan's frequent typhoons and pressure changes make this particularly relevant.
