Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center researchers published in the journal Neurology yesterday that migraines and other types of headaches can be related to temperature and weather. Looking at seven years of emergency room data, researchers found a correlation between onset of headache and higher mean ambient temperature during the 24 hours before coming to the ER. Also, low barometric pressure (often related to storms) 48 to 72 hours prior to emergency room visits was also linked to increased risk of headache.
