Barometric pressure and migraines in Minneapolis
Minneapolis sits at about 860 ft above sea level. At that altitude, barometric pressure normally reads around 982 hPa — lower than the familiar sea-level figure of about 1013. That gap is just elevation, not weather, so the lower number here is normal.
For migraine triggers, what matters is how much the pressure changes over a day or two — not the absolute reading. This page tracks the size and speed of those swings so you can see at a glance whether today is steady or volatile.
Pressure changes are associated with migraines in some people, and individual sensitivity varies widely. This is weather data, not a medical prediction — for guidance specific to you, talk to a healthcare provider.
