equability
Temperament without extremes
Equability is the quality of being even-tempered and unvarying.
A person of equability remains calm and steady regardless of circumstances—neither elated by good fortune nor deflated by setbacks.
The term also applies to climates or conditions that stay uniform: the equability of coastal temperatures.
It suggests a pleasant absence of extremes.
