How it's used
Evokes a sense of pleasant, clear, and warm weather rather than just a technical meteorological description. It is often used to express relief or joy after a period of gloomy or rainy weather. While it sounds slightly more poetic or descriptive than just saying 好天, it remains perfectly natural in casual conversation.
Examples
It is such a bright sunny day today, perfect for going to the beach.
I haven't seen a bright sunny day in a long time, it's been raining every day.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe weather that is uncomfortably hot or scorching, as the term carries a positive, pleasant connotation. For intense, oppressive heat, use 酷熱 instead.
