Meteorology

/ˌmiːtiəˈrɒlədʒi/ noun

Meteorology is the science that studies the atmosphere and the processes that create weather. It helps us understand storms, winds, temperature changes, and long-term climate patterns.

From Greek ‘meteōrologia,’ meaning ‘discussion of things in the air,’ from ‘meteōron’ (high in the air) and ‘-logia’ (study of). It originally covered many sky phenomena, not just weather.
