How to use balmy in a sentence?

1. The National Weather Service:

   Snowmelt is well underway and will continue through Monday. It is this snowmelt that will ultimately cause the flooding concerns, it is warming up already, it's in the 40s right now and based on the temperatures we've been dealing with, it's pretty balmy.

2. Lucy Nicholson:

   One of the most striking things about the World Cup compared to the Olympics, is how male it is: the vast majority of fans, media, and obviously players are male, given this, it was surprising how little rowdiness I witnessed ... I found ordinary Russians, particularly women, to be invariably kind and warm ... This welcoming behavior could have been inspired by pride in a national event or perhaps by the balmy weather, but much of it seemed spontaneous and genuine.
