Alterations in weather systems, barometric pressure and altitude have all been implicated as migraine triggers. In one study, researchers found that 51 percent of migraine sufferers were sensitive to weather patterns. The largest segment (22 percent) developed headaches during cold, dry weather.
Another 12 percent developed headaches throughout warm, humid weather. About 10 percent were sensitive to changing weather patterns, such as a passing weather front. A part of participants were sensitive to more than one weather condition. By tracking weather changes in a headache diary and listening to weather reports, migraine sufferers could anticipate triggers and take preventive steps.
