This clue might be a double definition.

'fair' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'weather saint?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clement that I've seen before include "Merciful; various Popes" , "Mild or balmy" , "- - Attlee (PM)" , "9, the chef and MP" , "Mild; gentle; merciful" .)
