What word was used to replace the word "temperature" in ancient times? "Climate"? "Temperature" or "weather"?

In ancient times, this problem was not quantified as accurately as it is now, but expressed in vague words or words. For example, today, when the temperature is low, you can say "cold" directly (I am worried about charcoal, and I wish it were cold), the wind is biting, and when it is hot, you can say "hot in summer", or it is a profile description (which is related to China people's habit of being implicit but not direct), such as dripping water into ice and the sun burning like fire.
