How to use 晴朗

晴朗 describes weather or the sky, and it often appears in weather reports and written descriptions. It can also describe a clear, bright mood or a clear voice in more literary writing. Example: 今天天气晴朗。(Jīntiān tiānqì qínglǎng.) The weather is sunny and clear today.

晴 (qíng) has the sun 日 on the left, and 朗 (lǎng) has the moon 月 on the right. Sun by day and moon by night both shine clearly, so 晴朗 means a bright, cloudless sky.

Common mistake: Learners often write 睛 (jīng, eye) instead of 晴 (qíng). Remember that 晴 uses the sun 日 because it is about weather, while 睛 uses the eye 目.
