I have no idea, but I live in Buffalo, NY and I have chronice migraines...have them every day. When I go to visit my son who lives on the edge of the Nevada desert, I don't have headaches during the whole time I'm there.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and find that my migraines are worse when it rains. I have read that high pressure systems can affect migraines. I feel the low pressure of the clouds makes them worse. I can feel the pressure on my face and head and that generally triggers a migraine.

 

I have also found that when I visit places that are dry I don't experience as many migraines.

I live in Michigan and the weather related migraines are horrible here.  My Son and I both have them and he moved to Vail, Colorado and the higher alitude has really helped him.  Maybe that is the answer, higher alitude living,
