Summer is peak outdoor activity season in the UK. Warmer weather and longer days mean we’re more likely to lace up our trainers for a run, pull the bike from the garage, play rounders in the park, or overhaul the garden. But it’s also the time when joint pain peaks, and it isn’t just from being more active. Surprisingly, the weather can also play a role in aching, painful joints.
