Importance of chronotypes and biological rhythms and their influence on human organism is pointed out. The stages of biological rhythms study are mentioned. The problem of weather sensitivity, its peculiarities, manifestations and risk factors are noted. Research of interrelation of meteopathic reactions and chronotype in young people on example of medical students is presented. research showing that meteosensitivity level depends on person’s individual chronotype. People with mixed chronotype showed average ability to adapt to weather changes with insignificant physiological and psychic state variations.
