Crossword Genius

In cooler temperature delivers baby (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

infant

'baby' is the definition.
('infant' can be a synonym of 'baby')

'in cooler temperature' is the wordplay.
'cooler' becomes 'fan' (I've seen this before).
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'in'+'fan'+'t'='INFANT'

'delivers' is the link.

(Other definitions for infant that I've seen before include "Youngster" , "Very young child or baby" , "Small baby" , "Thing in early stage; minor (legal)" , "Tiny baby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
