Default Re: no/not + comparative adj.
Hi enydia

The adverb not is used to negate the predicate:
Ex: The weather today is not/isn't better than it was yesterday．
I'd use it when disagreeing, and I'd put emphasis on not. For example,

Anne: The weather is better today.
Bob: The weather is not better today.
