It can be induced by a number of causes such as allergens, pollutants, exercise, and even temperature fluctuations. Summer weather can be a challenging time for people with asthma, as high temperatures and humidity levels can make it harder to breathe. Additionally, summer can be a time of increased outdoor activity, which can lead to more exposure to allergens and other triggers.

Triggers that can worsen asthma symptoms in summer 

Pollen: Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds can trigger asthma symptoms in people with allergic asthma.

Outdoor air pollution: Summer is a time when air pollution levels can be high, especially in urban areas. This pollution can trigger asthma symptoms.

High humidity: High humidity can make it harder to breathe for some people with asthma.

Heat and exercise: Exercising in hot and humid weather can trigger asthma symptoms.
