Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'atmospheric' (pertaining to the atmosphere) + 'condition' (the state of something), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it refers to the state of the atmosphere (weather) at a particular time and place. This follows standard adjective + noun composition and is cross-linguistically common, making it immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Atmospheric condition comes from the two words atmosphere, meaning the 'air' around the Earth, and condition, meaning the 'state' of something. So people who checked the weather used the phrase to describe the current 'state' of the air, including temperature, wind and clouds, and today it still means the weather at a place and time.
