Introduction: Climatic characteristics and various weather factors have direct or indirect impacts on human health and hygiene. Exploring how human health is affected by climatic factors and weather conditions can elucidate these hidden angles. Hepatitis B virus that chiefly transferred through blood or sexual contacts is one such case that may be directly or indirectly influenced by these factors. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of weather factors on the prevalence of hepatitis B, especially in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad province, southwest Iran. Methods: Hepatitis B patient residential addresses for a ten years period from 2013 to 2022 were collected from the provincial health center. The effects of factors including mean annual rainfall, mean sunny days, and mean annual freezing days on disease occurrence were analyzed and examined using geographic information systems (GIS). Finally, statistical analysis of the data was performed using univariate regression method. Results: According to the findings of this research, an inverse relationship with disease occurrence, was found for rainfall while a direct relationship between the number of sunny days and disease occurrence was observed. The number of freezing days had no effect on the disease distribution. Conclusion: it seems, rainy and sunny weather indirectly effect on the hepatitis occurrence through their effect on social behavior of people and human relationship. Rainy days decrease the social activity and movement of persons while sunny days increase the active attendance and higher chance of exposure to risk factors in human population.
