Hi @Berthe.N
I don't notice any difference during storms but you description sounds like it would make a difference. I'll let you know if I feel anything different next time a storm comes in!

Community managerHello 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?
Feel free to share and discuss here!
Take care,
