weather pattern
Recurring sky conditions
A weather pattern is a recurring or persistent arrangement of atmospheric conditions over a region.
Meteorologists identify patterns to predict what weather will follow: A high-pressure pattern usually means clear skies.
The phrase often appears when conditions repeat or linger: We've been stuck in this rainy weather pattern for weeks.
