What kind of changes are you looking for? and how would knowing the forecast help you prepare or avoid headaches?

Anecdotally my headaches correlate with weather changes but was never able to pinpoint exactly the markers.

I’m in the same boat and contemporary headache research doesn’t have any clues yet (aside from the fact that it’s a real phenomenon and we’re not crazy) although it is an area of active research.

I can usually tell by intuition if weather is going to trigger things — I’ll even say, “it feels migrainey out” — but I don’t have one specific weather pattern that is clearly the cause.

That’s why I pay attention to the barometer. The barometer frequently predicts big, nonspecific weather changes so whenever I see one on the horizon I know that I might get a migraine when that happens.

Regarding preparation, I try to get stuff down so I can take it easy around the time when the pressure is shifting.

For example, later this afternoon the pressure is supposed to climb quite a bit so I’m getting critical blockers for work done this morning and then I’m going to visit the gym at lunch. It really helps my stress level if I can finish my plan for the day before a headache puts me out. I hope that makes some sense?

yeah I've wondered too. Although I think for me I just feel better when it's colder

I did debate writing how 'headache'y I felt periodically with timestamps (e.g. make a telegram bot -> google sheet) and then add in some weather data and see if it was actually correlated if I plotted them
