Rainy season is here—and so are some common rainy day illnesses

Learn about how the rainy season affects your well-being, and what you can do to stay healthy

While the rainy season marks the end of a warm, dry summer, the rainy season also ushers in a wave of climate-related conditions, the most prevalent of which is the common cold.

Because of the damp and cold weather experienced during the rainy season, allergens like mold or fungi are given a chance to grow at a rapid rate, which may exacerbate common cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, congestion, and cough. Changes in temperature can also cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Additionally, the strong winds during thunderstorms can disturb dust particles and pollen, making it more respirable and increasing the risk of triggering allergy or asthma attacks.
