Ok you need to watch this then. What it is called is Edema. It can be caused by a number of things and one is heart or circulatory conditions as well as diabetes. The weather may be a factor but if it does not get better see your doctor. Lower your salt intake and raise your feet or legs to help it.

Go here for more info. and here also. If I may be of further assistance then reply.
