Pleased with temperature changes, stand (8)
I believe the answer is:
pedestal
'stand' is the definition.
('pedestal' can be a synonym of 'stand')
'pleased with temperature changes' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'changes' is an anagram indicator.
'pleased'+'t'='pleasedt'
'pleasedt' with letters rearranged gives 'PEDESTAL'.
(Other definitions for pedestal that I've seen before include "Base supporting a statue" , "Support for a column or statue" , "Support or foundation" , "Plinth, base" , "Base supporting column" .)
