I believe the answer is:

genial

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to just breezy conditions' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'change in gale' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'gale'='ingale'
'ingale' anagrammed gives 'GENIAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for genial that I've seen before include "'Affable, warm and friendly (6)'" , "relating to the chin" , "Friendly and agreeable" , "Affable in Ealing" , "Angel I found being affable" .)

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