To remember the French word “météo,” try associating it with “meteorology,” the English term for the science of the atmosphere, which also deals with weather forecasting. The root “météo-” comes from the Greek “meteoros,” meaning “high in the sky.” The “éo” ending in “météo” sounds like “oh” in English, as if you’re looking up at the sky reacting to the weather: “Oh, it’s going to rain!”

Other words that mean the same thing in French include “prévisions météorologiques” (weather forecasts) and “bulletin météorologique” (weather report). There isn’t much in the way of alternate slang meanings for “météo,” as it’s a pretty straightforward term.

Examples of sentences using “météo” in French:
– “As-tu vu la météo pour demain ? Il va pleuvoir toute la journée.” (Did you see the weather forecast for tomorrow? It’s going to rain all day.)
– “La météo est clémente aujourd’hui, c’est parfait pour une sortie en mer.” (The weather is mild today; it’s perfect for a trip out to sea.)
– “Je consulte toujours la météo avant de partir en randonnée.” (I always check the weather forecast before going hiking.)
– “La chaîne de télévision propose une émission de météo toutes les heures.” (The television channel offers a weather show every hour.)

Remembering “météo” in association with these sentences and its connection to meteorology should help you recall the word and its uses in French.
