Such is an adverb that can modify an article or an adjective. 'Such' means.....so, or very. If the word requires an article, it also requires an article when you use such. If the word doesn't require an article, it doesn't require an article with such. It is wonderful weather.........It is such wonderful weather. It is a nice day.......................It is such a nice day. She is a beauty........She is such a beauty!

"Such a wonderful weather it is! Isn't it?" "Such wonderful weather shouldn't go ignored!" I think it depends on the structure of the sentence.

In your example, "the" isn't required. And I think it should be omitted for constructions with most abstract nouns. However, I wouldn't be surprised if someone gives an example where it is required. I'll edit this reply if I can think of one myself.
