The percentage of severe migraine attacks in 56 volunteer subjects from November 1969 – May 1970 in Aberdeen was significantly increased during days when there were more than two hours of sunshine (p <0.05) and also when this gave rise to dazzle when in combination with snow cover. Atmospheric cooling was reported as a causative or aggravating factor in seven subjects and in 1.2% of recorded attacks. A low atmospheric pressure recorded at mid-day tended to be associated with significantly less frequent attacks (p < 0.05). There was a trend towards increase in frequency of attacks when the atmospheric pressure was rising. Low relative humidity was associated with a significant increase in the percentage of severe attacks (p <0.05). Saturday was associated with significantly more attacks than other days of the week (p< 0.01). Possible preventative measures are discussed.
