Heat, Dehydration, and Sunlight Linked to Increased Migraine Severity in Summer

Migraines often worsen during summer due to environmental and lifestyle factors such as heat, dehydration, and sunlight exposure. Heat can trigger migraines by causing blood vessel dilation and changes in barometric pressure, while dehydration affects blood flow and brain function. Protective measures include staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged sun exposure. Individual experiences vary, with some patients noting increased severity in the afternoons linked to heat and humidity despite indoor air conditioning.
