Signalling the end of an excruciatingly hot summer, monsoons are met with a sigh of relief across the country. However, for individuals with asthma, this change in weather can introduce a host of triggers that worsen their symptoms.

Monsoons often witness an increase in episodes of breathlessness, wheezing or even an attack. As a matter of fact, there is even research that has suggested a noteworthy correlation between thunderstorms and asthma, leading to the term "thunderstorm asthma". Understanding and managing these monsoon asthma triggers are essential for maintaining optimal respiratory health during this season.
