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 Detroit (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 scoreOzone, 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 scoreCold 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 scoreHigh 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 scoreSudden temperature changes can trigger bronchoconstriction as airways struggle to condition rapidly changing air.
Wind
10% of scoreWind disperses allergens and particulates over greater distances and can increase irritant exposure for asthma sufferers.

Forecast scores describe weather conditions associated with symptom changes in published research and community-reported patterns — they are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Individual responses to weather vary widely. Always consult your healthcare provider about managing your condition.
