Morphology

hydrometeorological = meteorological (semi-transparent) = hydro + meteor + ological

The word is built transparently on the technical base 'meteorological', but the overall term is specialized and may not be obvious to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Hydrometeorological joins hydro 'water' as in the word hydrogen and meteorological, which is like meteorology 'weather'. So hydrometeorological describes studies or forecasts that look at both water such as rain, snow and rivers and the weather, which is why it is used for things like flood and rainfall reports.
