Weather Changes

Often changes of weather (rather than a particular temperature) can trigger asthma. The arrival of spring and autumn seem to be trigger times. Asthma can be troublesome in winter but more usually because of colds and flu rather than the season itself.

What to do:

Take your usual dose of reliever inhaler before going out on cold, dry days.
If it is cold and windy, wear a scarf over your face to help to warm up the air before you breathe in.
Try to avoid going out in the middle of the day on hot, smoggy days.
