Significado
Unpleasant atmospheric conditions.
Contexto cultural
In Tehran, 'havaye bad' is almost synonymous with 'pollution' (āludegi). When the 'hava' is 'bad', schools often close and people stay indoors to avoid smog. Classical poets often used 'hava' to mean 'desire' or 'love'. While 'havaye bad' literally means bad weather, in a poetic context, it could metaphorically mean a 'bad desire'. During the Persian New Year (Nowruz), 'havaye bad' is the ultimate disappointment, as it ruins the traditional outdoor picnic on the 13th day (Sizdah Bedar).
The Ezafe Link
Never forget the 'ye' sound between the words. Without it, it sounds like two random words 'Air. Bad.' instead of 'Bad weather'.
