This week, it was impressive to see how each member of the Nagaura family was carrying their own "emotional pain," yet they supported each other as a family and tried to move forward, even if only little by little!

Well, there was a scene in the movie where Monet talked about "weather pain" on the radio. As Monet explained, "weather pain" occurs when the body is sensitive to changes in air pressure. Here's a quiz about weather pain!

Our bodies have "sensors" that detect changes in air pressure. But what exactly is it that functions as this sensor?
The difficulty level is ★★★★★(5/5). Give it some thought!

• 
  ear
  Correct answer

  
  The sensor that detects changes in air pressure is the ear, specifically the "Inner earIt is believed that when a low pressure system approaches, the inner ear senses the change in air pressure, and this information is transmitted to the brain, causing physical pain and mental discomfort known as "weather pain."
  There is still a lot we don't know about "weather pain." For example, research has shown that pain can be caused by changes in humidity, wind speed, and temperature. However, the mechanism behind this has not been fully elucidated.
  Your discomfort may also be caused by weather-related pain. Some weather companies forecast weather-related pain, and medicine for weather-related pain is also sold. Let's live with the weather in the best way possible!

I used to be just a weather chart enthusiast, but my hobby developed into becoming a weather forecaster. I would be happy if even one person could realize that "weather is interesting"!
