The word is a simple compound of 'Wetter' (weather) and 'Lage' (situation). So it literally means 'the situation of the weather.'

'das Wetter' and 'die Wetterlage' both have to do with sun, rain, wind, and temperature. 'Wetter' is the general word for what you directly experience: it is cold, sunny, or rainy. 'Wetterlage' refers more to the overall situation in an area and the reasons for it, for example air pressure, wind direction, or a low-pressure system. Learners may confuse the words because both often appear in forecasts. In everyday life, you are more likely to say 'Das Wetter ist schlecht' (The weather is bad). When describing the broader situation or a development, 'Wetterlage' is more precise.
