"Temps" does mean time but not in this context....as two posters (Devin and Kaoso) have already answered, here "temps" refers to the weather - so "What was the weather like yesterday?"
If you have an expression like: "Il reste combien de temps..." ("How much time is left"), "Il n'y a pas de temps" (There is no time), "Après un certain temps" (After a certain time), or "temps libre" (spare time)...then as you can see from these examples, "temps" is translated as "time."
Just be careful though - if you want to ask "What time is it?" or "At what time does the show start?" you will not use "temps" but "heure" - so "Quelle heure est-il?" and "À quelle heure commence le spectacle?"
I gave you a little more than you asked for...but I've noticed that my students have a lot of trouble wrapping their head around the use of "temps" and I can't blame them.
