meteorologically = meteorological (transparent) = meteorology + ical + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'meteorological'; the adjective itself is a regular derivation from 'meteorology', so the overall meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
Meteorologically comes from the Greek root meteor-, meaning 'high in the air', and the ending -logy, which means 'study' and appears in meteorology. So, meteorologically is used to talk 'about the weather' or things happening in the air above us.
