I suffer since about 4 years or so, of migraines every time I'm in the sun for even only 5 minutes. The migraines all start from the eyes and as someone else suggested from the eyelid. They start being very painful and then the pain radiates to the head too. The migraines last for hours, and only being in the dark can relief it a little, but they won't go away for ages. It's horrible and I feel embarrassed as I'm Italian and have always been exposed to the sun since I was little, but I moved to the UK over 10 years ago, so I might just not get used to the sun and the heat anymore.
I do find that if I don't wear a hat or sunglasses I definitely get the symtoms.
I don't think dehydration is a factor for me as I'm a water lover and drink A LOT of water all day and specially when in the sun!
I'm just so glad I'm not alone in this!! When I tell my friends nobody gets it why I am so sensitive in the sun now given that I come from Italy and a very sunny place.. :(
