predictably
In foreseeable fashion
Predictably means in a way that can be anticipated or foreseen.
It often carries a note of weariness or mild criticism—what happened was so obvious it hardly bears mentioning: Predictably, he was late again.
The word can also describe consistent, reliable behavior without negative connotation: The medication worked predictably.
