First half of June is cold and wet (5)
I believe the answer is:
juicy
'wet' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'first half of june is cold' is the wordplay.
'first half of' means to take half the letters.
'is cold' becomes 'icy' (similar in meaning).
'june' halved is 'ju'.
'ju'+'icy'='JUICY'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for juicy that I've seen before include "description of ripe oranges" , "Succulent - risque - lucrative" , "Full of sap" , "Interestingly scandalous" , "Provocatively interesting" .)
