Migraines affected by weather in Israeli summer
Migraines, characterized by intense headaches, are significantly influenced by weather conditions, particularly during the summer in Israel. Approximately one million Israelis suffer from migraines, with women being disproportionately affected. The summer heat, extended daylight hours, and high humidity exacerbate these conditions. Increased light exposure reduces melatonin production, disrupting sleep and increasing pain sensitivity, leading to more frequent migraines.
