Spring has arrived, and the Riverina Thunderstorm Asthma Collaborative is urging residents, particularly those in Wagga Wagga and surrounding areas, to prepare for the risk of thunderstorm asthma. 

As we welcome the arrival of spring, it's important to be aware of the increased risk of thunderstorm asthma, particularly for those with asthma or hayfever. Springtime can bring sudden and severe asthma symptoms, especially during thunderstorms.  

A campaign to highlight the spring thunderstorm asthma season and raise awareness of the elevated risk of flare-ups launched this week with a focus on how all members of the family can be impacted by asthma related conditions.
