산행
산행 means hiking or a mountain trek here, as part of 산행 날씨 예보, the weather forecast for the hike. It is used for an organized or planned trip on a mountain. Use it when discussing the conditions or schedule of a mountain outing.
날씨
날씨 means weather here. In 날씨 예보, it identifies what the forecast is about. It commonly appears with words for changes, conditions, and forecasts.
예보
예보 means forecast, specifically the prediction being discussed in 산행 날씨 예보. It is used for information about expected weather or other future conditions. You can use it when checking or sharing a forecast before an activity.
가

바뀌어서
