This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"weather" has a medium-density field this round. A nearest similarity of 0.615 ("windy") alongside a 0.576 top-10 mean says "windy", "weathers", "inclement" are core but the outskirts scatter — patience required.

The decay here is shallow — 0.615 to 0.412, only 0.203 apart. Upside: lots of warm words. Downside: they sit close together, so locking the exact one is a grind.

One easily-missed direction: "rain" scores 0.577 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "windy". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
