Meteorologically

Meteorologically is an adverb meaning in a manner related to meteorology or to weather phenomena. It derives from meteorology, the scientific study of the atmosphere, with the suffix -ly forming the adverb. The related adjective meteorological describes conditions, measurements, or phenomena associated with weather, while meteorology is the field of study itself.

In formal or scientific writing, meteorologically may be used to frame statements that rely on weather data or atmospheric science. For example, one might say that a region is meteorologically favorable for dust storm formation under certain wind and humidity conditions. The term signals that the assessment is grounded in weather-related evidence. It is less common in everyday language, where writers often substitute phrases such as “weather-wise” or “in terms of weather.” The word can appear in phrases like meteorologically significant or meteorologically relevant.

Notes: meteorologically should not be confused with meteorology or meteorological. The adverb specifically denotes the weather-related aspect of a statement, rather than the broader science or the adjectival description of conditions. In technical literature, it provides a precise way to refer to actions, observations, or conclusions tied to atmospheric phenomena.

Contextual usage tends to appear in aviation, agriculture, disaster planning, climate studies, and other fields where weather considerations directly influence analyses or decisions.
