Weather change not enough to take one's breath away (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thaw

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

'weather' is the definition.
(I know that thaw is a type of weather)

'change not enough to take one's breath away' is the wordplay.
'THAW' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thaw that I've seen before include "Unfreeze, defrost" , "De-ice" , "detente" , "Become more friendly" , "Melting process" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
