If you’ve suspected that the weather influences your migraines, you’re right. It turns out that a day of hot weather can trigger a migraine attack a day later.

BBC NEWS | Health | Hot weather a migraine ‘trigger’:

“Dr Brendan Davies, consultant neurologist and spokesman for the Migraine Trust, said: ‘This adds scientific validity to what we have suspected for some time. Up to 50% of patients believe weather may trigger their migraine.
‘It looks like it is the change in the air temperature, and to a lesser extent the change in air pressure that is important.”

If you’re on prescription medicine for your headaches, carry it with you during hot weather.
