YET as a conjunction
I know how to use YET as an adverb but I have issues with using YET as a conjunction:
The weather was cold, yet bright and sunny.
Her advice seems strange, yet I believe she’s right.

Are "however", "nevertheless", and "but" synonyms to "yet" in these examples? Can I interchange them?
Or will it sound unnatural for native speakers if I interchange them?

I had found out this link, yet (but? however?nevertheless) it did not help much

Thank you.

Answer

Yes, you can interchange those words.  If someone said either of those sentences with any of those words, I would not think that it was wrong. Also, in the second sentence, you could use "although".  "Her advice seems strange, although I believe she's right."

Answer

Thank you again, Brad C! I will remember it!

Answer

All of them are correct except "nevertheless."  This conjunction should only be used when a contrast is almost illogical or extreme.  Example: "Our company is losing money in China, nevertheless we're going to open new offices in Beijing and Shanghai."
