weather report
Atmospheric conditions summary
A weather report is a summary of current or expected atmospheric conditions—temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity—for a given area.
Weather reports come from meteorologists, news broadcasts, or apps: I check the weather report before deciding what to wear.
The phrase functions as a compound noun, often shortened to just "the weather."
