Changes in seasons’ features e.g. warm winter or rainy summer, increasing in number of flies and hurtful animals, and decreasing in agricultural productions have been mentioned as other signs. One of the main causes of Vabaie weather is related to geographical factors. Cities with northern mountains, cities near sulfur mines, marsh, or landfill are exposed to this condition. Vabaie diseases are mentioned as consequences of Vabaie weather. ITM has some preventive and therapeutic recommendations for this condition.
