How old are you? There could be a lot of reasons for the headache, a lot of which can be attributed to the change of climate. However, it is a bit concerning that the headache is not relieved with tylenol. Have you had these headaches before? Is there any light sensitivities that come along with these headaches? Any family history of migraines or the like? Do you have blurry vision? Are you nauseated? Do you drink a lot or any caffeine? Do you have allergies?
As you can see, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered to narrow down the possibilities. If the headaches are continuing, I would go to a physician who can further ask these questions and more and possibly get a scan. There are textbooks written on just headaches, and there is just not enough information in your story to be able to tell you what to do exactly. Caffeine actually is a good remedy for headaches- it causes the blood vessels in your brain to constrict, which ironically can relieve headaches- hence why Excederin and other "headache" medications have caffeine in the ingredients.
If you want any further help- I would need to know some more information before jumping into any conclusions.
