I have asthma and storms don't affect my asthma.
Cigarette smoke and a sudden changes in the weather and temperature can trigger my asthma.

Hello all,
How are you today? 🙂
Thunderstorms may trigger or even aggravate asthma and allergy attacks: this is known as "storm asthma".
Storm asthma can occur in anyone with asthma, but it most often affects people with seasonal allergic rhinitis (or hay fever).The electrical activity of a thunderstorm helps to break down pollen further, and gusts can disperse pollen grains before a thunderstorm. In clouds, wind, humidity and lightning greatly reduce airborne particles, making it easier for them to enter the nose, sinuses and lungs.

What about you? Do you see a difference in your asthma when it's stormy?
