Article from daily regularly concerned with temperature (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thermal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'concerned with temperature' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'article from daily regularly' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'from'+'daily'='fromdaily'
The alternating letters of 'fromdaily' are 'rmal'.
'the'+'rmal'='THERMAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thermal that I've seen before include "which can take a glider up" , "Warm or hot - underwear?" , "type of baths" , "Upward current of warm air" , "Caloric" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
