weather-wise

Skilled at forecasting

Weather-wise means knowledgeable about weather patterns and skilled at predicting them: The old farmer was weather-wise, reading clouds better than any forecast.

The suffix -wise also creates adverbs meaning "with respect to," so weather-wise can mean regarding weather conditions: Weather-wise, it's been a terrible summer for the crops.
