You are right. It is because "weather" is uncountable. This rule is true for any uncountable noun. For example, "What interesting information!" but NOT "What an interesting information."
However, if you add a "container word," you can use a/an. For example: What an interesting PIECE OF information!

time = countable!
a nice time, a good time, a bad time
How many good times have you had? How many bad times have you had.
This sentence structure tells you that "time" is countable.
