Just visible in summer, especially (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

'just' is the definition.
('just' can mean 'mere' or 'only')

'visible in summer especially' is the wordplay.
'visible in' indicates a hidden word.
'MERE' is hidden within 'summer especially'.

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than a small pool" , "Lake, pond (poetic)" , "Paltry" , "See 13" , "Pond - pure and simple" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
