How it's used
Refers specifically to weather conditions where the sky is clear and bright. While it is a standard noun, it is frequently paired with adjectives like 好 to describe the pleasantness of the day. It is more common in formal weather reports or written descriptions than in casual, everyday speech, where people might simply say 冇落雨 or 好曬.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person's mood or personality, as it is strictly meteorological. For describing a cheerful person, use 開朗 instead.
