“…The association between precipitation and the pollen load is complex. Rainfall during the owering season decreases the pollen load whereas high precipitation during months preceding the pollination may increase it [25]. Winter precipitation probably precedes pollination and therefore, high winter precipitation could intensify the pollination.…”

Purpose To clarify the associations of climatic indices with chronic respiratory symptoms, with a final aim to approximate the effects of climate change on them. Methods An e-mail survey was directed to the members of the Finnish Pensioners` Federation. The mean 20-years’ precipitation and temperature in each subjects’ home municipality were obtained from the Finnish Meteorological Institute, separately for summer and winter. Adjusted multivariate models were utilized to investigate the associations of the climatic indices with chronic rhinosinusitis, chronic cough, wheezing with dyspnea, and sleep apnea. Results There were 6189 responders from 283 municipalities. Chronic rhinosinusitis and chronic cough were most prevalent in the southeastern regions of the country, where the precipitation counts were highest. In the multivariate models, winter precipitation in the home municipality increased the risks of chronic rhinosinusitis and chronic cough (adjusted OR 1.79 (1.29-2.49) per 100 mm, p < 0.001, and 1.57 (1.19 to 2.07), p = 0.001, respectively). Wheezing with dyspnea and sleep apnea were not associated with the climatic indices. Conclusion Chronic rhinosinusitis and chronic cough were associated with long-term winter precipitation. Given the anticipated increase in winter precipitation in Northern America and Northern Europe, the prevalences of chronic rhinosinusitis and chronic cough may increase there.
