meteorologici

Meteorologici is the masculine plural form of the Italian adjective meteorologico, meaning related to meteorology or to the weather. It is used to describe objects, phenomena, or data associated with the atmosphere, such as fenomeni meteorologici (weather phenomena), dati meteorologici (meteorological data), and strumenti meteorologici (meteorological instruments). The feminine plural form is meteorologiche, as in condizioni meteorologiche.

In everyday and scientific language, meteorologici qualifiers appear across a range of expressions that concern the study and observation of the atmosphere, including weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and atmospheric research. The term helps distinguish weather-related topics from other meteorological or atmospheric subjects.

The noun form used for people who study the field is meteorologi (singular meteorologo). Thus, meteorologico adjectives describe weather-related topics, while meteorologi identify professionals such as meteorologists. The distinction is important in Italian, where adjectives and nouns with related roots share a common origin but differ in grammatical function.

Etymologically, meteorologico derives from meteorologia, itself from the Greek meteoron (high in the air) and -logia (study of). In broader use, meteorologici appears in scientific, educational, and journalist contexts to specify weather- or climate-linked aspects of discussion.
