How weather affects asthma

Not every weather factor hits every condition the same way. These are the inputs our Asthma scoring model weighs most heavily — and in Buffalo (Northeast), they interact with the local climate pattern: Washington, New York, and Boston — Atlantic corridor pressure changes and their effect on symptoms.

Air quality

35% of score

Ozone, PM2.5, and other pollutants directly trigger airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction in asthma patients. With pollen data unavailable, AQI serves as the best available proxy for overall air irritant levels.

Temperature

20% of score

Cold air is one of the best-documented asthma triggers, causing airway dehydration and bronchoconstriction. Very hot air can also worsen symptoms through increased ozone and breathing difficulty.

Humidity

20% of score

High humidity promotes dust mite and mold growth; very humid air also feels heavier and can trigger breathlessness. Low humidity dries airways.

Daily temperature swings

10% of score

Sudden temperature changes can trigger bronchoconstriction as airways struggle to condition rapidly changing air.

Wind

10% of score

Wind disperses allergens and particulates over greater distances and can increase irritant exposure for asthma sufferers.
