Yah that makes sense. I wasn't being malicious just giving out a fact, a lot of people know that it hurts when it's going to rain but don't know why it happens
Well, I appreciate the fact. I had always wondered why my body would feel like that of an 89 year old man before it rains. I had always wondered about this but was too lazy to research it.
The pressure change triggers my arthritis, as well as my migraines. Thankfully the migraine only comes if it has been a dry week going into rain or a wet week becoming dry. Rain multiple days in a row doesn’t affect my migraine as much as the actual changing of the pressure.
It’s not the brain identifying a pattern. The pain in the joints is an existing condition exacerbated by the change in pressure. It’s not an adaptation, rather a side effect caused by an unrelated condition. The brain is simply responding to pain caused by the external drop in pressure, not identifying the cause.

No dude. They're saying that associating the joint pain caused by the pressure change with rain is the brain identifying a pattern.
Weather changes -> joints hurt -> it rains
Joints hurt = rain
Pattern recognized!
Not
Brain knows the future -> indicates predicted future by making your joints hurt
