According to two studies, published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine and in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health respectively, headaches increase with higher temperatures, lower humidity and higher levels of fine particulate air pollution.
In the first study, patients who were admitted to the ER due to a migraine were monitored in terms of the weather conditions at the time of their admission. In the 3 491 patients included in the study a statistically significant correlation was found between the number of patients admitted and the daily maximum temperatures, mean temperatures, minimum temperatures and daily temperature changes.
The study also found that more patients presented with headaches and migraines when the humidity was low.
