Groaning in the rain

DO YOU watch the pollen count like a hawk? Are you prone to migraines just before a storm? Then you might enjoy Under the Weather (Fusion Press, £10.99/$15.95), a compilation of health and weather lore by alternative health journalist Pat Thomas. The fat bibliography at the end looks promising, with papers investigating, for example, links between cold weather and strokes. Ideal reading for the hypochondriac in all of us, and clearly backed by a torrent of research.
