Usage notes
- For weather or long-term conditions, use clima; for today's weather, use tempo, not clima.
- For atmosphere in a group, clima is common: clima teso, clima sereno. More formal than mood-like slang.
- For the appliance, clima is informal shorthand, especially in speech; condizionatore or aria condizionata is clearer.
