Drizzle or spatter sounds romantic. But for some people, drizzle can actually be a cause of migraines or headaches. Maybe walking for a while while drizzling can make recurrent migraine. In fact, the people around you look fine even though they both get rain. Then, why are you so sensitive to drizzle?

Is it true that drizzle makes migraines or headaches?
Some say migraines or headaches that appear after you get misted are only suggestions from your subconscious. This is not true. Misting is very likely to trigger migraines and your headaches recur. Certain people are very sensitive to certain weather changes. The reaction can also vary, ranging from migraines, headaches, to changes mood.
What is the relationship between drizzle, migraine and headache?
You might be wondering, what is the connection between drizzle and headache? The reason is, you're not in the rain until you're soaking wet. Why just getting a little drizzle can trigger migraines or headaches?
Apparently, according to a study in The Journal of Headache and Pain, certain weather conditions can indeed trigger migraines and headaches. According to Dr. Shuu-Jiun Wang, a neurologist who also heads the study, some people do have genetic disorders that cause their nerves to be more sensitive to certain triggers, one of which is weather.
When drizzle drops, there is an invisible change in the pressure and humidity of the air around you. Drizzle makes the air pressure drop suddenly while the humidity level increases. In addition, water droplets on the body also make you more moist. As a result, your body temperature drops suddenly.
Various sudden changes make the serotonin hormone levels regulated by the brain become unbalanced. The nerves of the brain will react excessively and result in migraines or headaches.
