Like the weather when it's being kind to you? (7)

I believe the answer is:

clement

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

'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clement that I've seen before include "Mild; gentle; merciful" , "chap" , "Fair" , "Pope once" , "(Of weather) mild, lenient" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
