Usage notes
- Use sereno for both mood and weather; tranquillo is more about being relaxed or quiet, not specifically clear skies.
- With weather, it agrees with the noun: cielo sereno, giornata serena. Don't leave it in the masculine form by default.
- For people, sereno suggests composed inner calm; calmo often describes behavior in the moment.
