Grammar
using 'the'
I'm confused and unsure how should i be answering these to my class.
"It's a terrible weather."
"It's terrible weather."
"It's the terrible weather."
Knowing weather is an uncountable nouns, 'a' should be removed, and 'the' is not needed as 'it's' already specifically pointing at the weather. Am I right?
If adding 'Today' in front of the sentence, do we add in 'a'?

If you wish to make a statement about the weather, it is more usual to say The weather is terrible. It's a terrible weather doesn't work. It's terrible weather is possible, most likely as an agreement with someone else's comment on the weather, or as the first part of a statement such as It's terrible weather for a picnic .
