Thunderstorms

Just came across this info sheet from the met office. Thought it might be of interest to a few. x

Thanks for this information.

The article certainly makes interesting reading and have learnt something from it as well I had never heard of thunderstorm related asthma.

I knew that some thunderstorms can trigger asthma, I'd guessed with the change in weather, humidity etc. What I didn't know was that the convection/wind broke down the pollen and made it more allergenic and smaller so it goes deeper. Interesting.

How interesting, thanks Lou

Its something to do with barometric pressure etc isn't it? Strangely I struggle more when its really muggy, but having a better evening than in a long while I'm putting it down to the rain? Or *maybe* things might just be getting better ... about time *ahem* lol

Thanks Lou, my lungs have been stroppy during the day but I have not needed medical help, thankfully, not too bad this evening.

Hope you are OK.
