A member asked:

Is it heat exhaustion if you're getting bad headaches in the heat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Edward Smith answered

That's one reason: Quite likely but not the only possibility. High temperature itself can provoke migraine, post-traumatic headaches, hypertensive headaches.
