Clement weather is gentle weather: not too hot, not too cold, and not wild. You can go out without fighting the day. The word is rather . In real speech people usually say mild or nice weather. Though actually, you will hear the opposite more often: weather — rain, storm, bitter cold — especially on a notice that cancels a match or a picnic. The older meaning of clement is merciful, like a kind ruler; the weather sense is that same gentleness moved onto the sky. Written with a capital letter, Clement is also a man’s name.
溫和的、宜人的(指天氣不太熱也不太冷)
組成From Old French, from Latin clēmēns (“merciful, gentle”). The weather meaning is that same gentle idea. The man’s name Clement (and Clemens, San Clemente) comes from the same Latin word.
