regional weather
Area's atmospheric conditions
Regional weather refers to atmospheric conditions—temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity—as they occur across a specific geographic area rather than at a single point.
Meteorologists distinguish regional weather from local conditions because patterns often behave differently at broader scales: The regional weather forecast calls for scattered storms across the valley.
The term appears in forecasting, climate studies, and agriculture.
