Mine's worse when the weather is damp, so mainly Autumn and Spring for me.

dd2's worse in autumn/winter. Seems to be affected by central heating going on, dryer, less well ventilated areas.

depends on the sufferer and what their triggers are.

Cold is a big one in this household (all asthmatic). Sudden shocking cold.

BUt then dp's allergies also make his worse in summer as well.

It does vary.

Me = cold weather/wind

DB = pollen

My asthma is defo worse in the winter. In fact it is quite bad at the minute and I have had to use my reliever quite a lot lately.
