The correct answer is; The summer of 1691 had a rainy season which caused the land to be damp and warm. Also, the farmland had turned swampy with so much rain.
Further Explanation:
In 1691, with the weather being rainy, warm, and damp this was the perfect setting for the ergot to infest the crops. The grain that was growing in the farmland most likely contained ergot which caused the symptoms in the women who were accused of being witches.
In the summer of 1692, there was not a rainy season. Instead there was a drought and ergot can not infest the grain without the wetness and dampness. This could be the reason that the symptoms of the women disappeared suddenly that summer since the grain no longer had ergot.
