I see weather described as "nice" in papers and on the Internet - what are the criteria for nice weather?

It is subjective. I refuse to use the words "nice, pleasant, or delightful" in my forecasts. Some people think 60 is nice...some people think 90 is nice.
However, if we have had a long bout of one particular type of weather that makes most people uncomfortable (i.e. Heat index 100-110 or Wind chill -20 to -30) than I will use the word "comfortable". Usually though, I will just say "not as warm, not as cold" etc.

Yes, there is a definition, but it could be different in different countries or different climate zones (I'm not sure).
In Sweden, the weather is officially called nice when there are only scattered clouds, and the wind is light. I assume the definition is the same in other areas with similar climate.

"nice" weather would be weather that is comfortable to the human body and does not require extra clothes or too warm to make one feel uncomfortable. Basically, it's the temperature, humidity combination that our heating/cooling systems try to maintain. When the weather matches that, then we say its nice
