“…ED visits for headache or migraine were more frequent during days of higher mean temperatures in the 24 hours before the visit, and there was a weaker correlation between low barometric pressures 48 to 72 hours before hospitalization (77). Yilmaz et al in a review of 3,491 patients admitted to the ED for migraine found significant associations with high temperatures and low humidity (78). Elcik et al reported increased ED visits for migraine on days with tropical air masses over a 7 year period in the Raleigh-Durham metro area (79).…”

“…A study conducted on meteorological parameters and patients presenting with migraine headache in an emergency department by Yilmaz et al [27], reported a statistically significant correlation between the number of daily patients and daily maximum temperature (p = 0.005), mean temperature (p = 0.013), minimum temperature (p = 0.041), and daily temperature change (p = 0.003). In addition, a negative correlation was found between the number of patients presenting at the emergency department daily and the concurrent relative humidity (in percentage; p = 0.031).…”

“…In addition, a negative correlation was found between the number of patients presenting at the emergency department daily and the concurrent relative humidity (in percentage; p = 0.031). The authors concluded that the number of patients admitted to the emergency department with migraine headache has increased with high temperature and low humidity [27]. South Africa is a country with climate extremes, from arid or desert areas, to areas with snow-covered mountains in winter.…”
