Which adjective is better to describe 'weather' and 'climate' that they are neither cold nor hot? [closed]
Scorning the unsupported answers given in the comments (although those may be correct, as far as they go, they're not complete), I'll suggest 'moderate':
- Not violent or subject to extremes; mild or calm; temperate: a moderate climate.
[moderate. (n.d.) American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition. (2011). Retrieved January 17 2016 from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/moderate .]
For your questions 1-3, then,
- If talking about 'moderate' weather, we're not necessarily talking about 'climate'.
- 'Moderate'.
- Yes.
Examples:
- The moderate weather in Washington State does not often produce violent thunderstorms or tornados.
- The moderate climate of the state is produced by the tempering influence of the warm North Pacific Drift. Temperature extremes are unusual as a result of that influence.
