What is thunderstorm asthma, and what causes it?

Thunderstorms are predicted in the UK this week. The Met Office predicts that weather will be “showery, with some thunderstorms" and occasional “spells of warm sunshine" on Monday and Tuesday.

It also means that over the next few days if you have asthma or hay fever you might find that your symptoms are triggered or worsened by the weather. This is known as thunderstorm asthma.
