These are not very closely related in meaning, Anon-- fresh has many meanings generally associated with newly obtained/grown etc, and cool means of a pleasantly low temperature. Do you have a situation in mind where the two words can be confused?

For example, in case I say: The fresh prince of Bel-Air.
Is cool possible, too?

Sorry, I don't know who this prince is, so I cannot determine whether he is fresh (rude) or fresh (new) or fresh (newly bathed), or cool (haughty) or cool (fashionable) or cool (chilly). I don't think that cool can replace fresh here, though.

Hi,
The discussion has moved away from weather, but I'd like to note that on a cool and breezy day, we might say either It's cool today or It's fresh today.
Best wishes, Clive
