flag Rising pollen and thunderstorms in NSW boost thunderstorm asthma risk, urging precautions for at-risk residents.

flag As spring arrives in New South Wales, rising pollen levels and thunderstorms are increasing the risk of thunderstorm asthma, a severe condition that can cause sudden breathing difficulties, wheezing, and chest tightness—especially in people with asthma or hay fever. flag Between October and December, weather conditions can break down pollen into tiny particles that are easily inhaled, triggering life-threatening symptoms even in those without a prior asthma diagnosis. flag Health officials urge residents to keep inhalers accessible, follow asthma action plans, stay indoors during high-risk periods, and seek emergency care immediately if symptoms worsen. flag Automated alerts are available in some areas, and staying informed through local health advisories is critical to preventing serious outcomes.
