Corvallas weather/climate? Migraines? (Portland, Eugene: place to live, to move, health)

Hi, Corvallis is one of the areas that keeps popping up in my search for a great place to live. Can anyone tell me what the weather is like there? Does it rain every day, cloudy skies (that Pacific NW reputation). I get migraines and they are worse when the barometric pressure changes due to frequent rain. I lived in NY and Italy and it was really humid in both places with frequent thunderstorms and I really suffered. I live in Utah now where it's a really dry climate. We do get some rain and a lot of snow, but I don't have the migraine problem nearly as much here. Any info about the climate in Corvallis would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

You know the mid-valley has lots of pressure changes. This is true for Portland through Eugene. My hubby works with someone that has migraines and he struggles out here.

I have had a few clients that moved here and then had to move away because the weather changes wreaked havoc on their health. I guess some problems are more prone to our weather changes than others.

It doesn't rain everyday, but it can be sunny then rainy, then windy all in one day. We don't get the humidity of other areas nor the drastic drops in pressure that they get in the mid-west when those downpours occur. We tend to spit rain most of the time.

If you had a chance to come and spend some time here before committing that would be the best.
