Weather as a Headache, Migraine and SAD Trigger : Since back in ancient times it has troubled people all over the world, but why ? Some weather conditions (including humidity and temperatures, storms, an extremely dry environment, a dusty atmosphere and lack of sun) mess our brain chemistry. For example sunshine gives us serotonin (chemical which makes us feel happy) and so when there is little sunshine (especially when the sun is covered by a thin and uniform grey cloud like today) the levels of serotonin in our brain dip, thus making us feel a bit down. These affects are obviously felt more by people who already are experiencing a depression ! The fluctuation in brain chemicals triggers headaches and sometimes also migraines. This is only a general trend as many are not affected at all while others feel better during storms.
