Usage Note
Meteo is a clipped form of bollettino meteorologico or previsioni del tempo. It is invariable in the plural: i meteo — though in practice it is nearly always used in the singular. It is masculine (il meteo), despite the -o ending suggesting a neuter-like truncation. The phrase secondo il meteo means 'according to the weather forecast'.
Examples
"Il meteo prevede pioggia per tutto il weekend."
Natural Translation
The weather forecast predicts rain for the whole weekend.
