Frequently asked questions
Thunderstorm asthma is a condition where storms trigger widespread asthma attacks due to the release of fine pollen particles that are easily inhaled into the lungs.
People with asthma, hay fever, or poorly controlled respiratory conditions are most at risk, especially during high pollen seasons and thunderstorms.
Prevention includes staying indoors during storms, monitoring pollen forecasts, and regularly using prescribed preventer medications.
Use a reliever inhaler immediately, follow your asthma action plan, and seek urgent medical help if symptoms do not improve.
