This could be a double definition.

'a single feature' is the first definition.
'element' can be an answer for 'feature' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'a single' bit.

'of the weather' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for element that I've seen before include "Fundamental component" , "Basic substance or feature" , "Eg, one dn" , "Essential factor" , "fire, perhaps, once" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
