Time taken in warm weather to bowl over (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stun

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

'bowl over' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'time taken in warm weather' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'taken in' indicates putting letters inside.
'warm weather' becomes 'sun' (I have seen 'Nice weather' mean 'sun' so perhaps 'weather' could also mean 'sun'. I am not sure about the 'warm' bit.).
't' inserted into 'sun' is 'STUN'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stun that I've seen before include "Dumbfound" , "Shock, flabbergast" , "Daze, stupify" , "Shock into silence" , "Concuss, stupefy" .)
