Note
Built with -est, as one-syllable adjectives usually are; "most mild" is possible but sounds deliberate. It carries every use of the base word: the mildest of tempers, the mildest rebuke, the mildest case of flu, the mildest winter in decades. With weather it usually means less cold than expected, so the mildest January on record is a warm one, not merely a calm one.
