The kanji 晴 is made up of 日 (sun) and 青 (blue/clear). It expresses the idea of the sky becoming clear after rain — a common sight in Japan's changing seasons. It also implies a sense of relief or brightness, not just in weather, but sometimes even emotionally.
明日は 晴れるでしょう。
It will probably be sunny tomorrow.
晴れた空がきれいです。
