Some people assume altitude should help.

If barometric pressure is lower in the mountains all the time, maybe the body gets used to it and weather-triggered migraines happen less often.

That idea sounds reasonable, but the real answer is more complicated.

Barometric pressure decreases as altitude increases. That is a normal physics rule, not a sign that the weather is automatically worse in a higher-elevation place.

This matters because many people compare pressure readings online without realizing that elevation changes the baseline.
