Thunderstorms can worsen respiratory conditions. During stormy weather it is recommended for people with hay fever or asthma to try and stay indoors and keep windows closed. It usually takes a day for the dust/pollen to settle in the air. For more advice: nhs.uk/conditions/ast…

Take control of your asthma this summer by being proactive about prevention. Stay hydrated to keep airways moist, practice relaxation techniques to manage stress, and carry your rescue inhaler with you wherever you go. For more advice: nhs.uk/conditions/ast…
