Please be patient

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Yes, temps really means these two, and context tells you which meaning is used.

[tawdry bridge]

It puzzled me too before but it is just about the context

And you can add a preposition to easily differentiate

And there is a specific way to ask about each one of the meabings

Quel fait-il le Temps?

Quelle heure est-il ?

It is pretty self descriptive ngl

[languid rampart]

Quel temps fait-il ?*

I'm not sure we say that.

[full temple]

So in my example. No one would ask that?
Que est-ce le temps?

From my understanding I could read that as what is the time or how is the weather.

[languid rampart]

Not like this. That is to ask to give the definition of time.
