"What beautiful weather." is the ONLY correct answer. ('weather' is an uncountable noun, so you can also say " The weather is beautiful."

"What beautiful weather!" is correct.
"What a beautiful weather" is incorrect.
It has to do with which words are "countable" or "uncountable" nouns. Here are some other examples. In every case, √ means "correct" and X means "incorrect."
√ Oh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day!
X Oh, what beautiful morning! Oh, what beautiful day!
√ Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
X Oh, what a fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
√ That is a spectacular sunset!
X That is spectacular sunset!
√ That is very clear water.
X That is a very clear water.
√ That is a very clear lake.
X That is very clear lake.

"What a beautiful weather" is correct because "beautiful" is an adjective, so it needs a noun after it. However, it would be more natural to say "What beautiful weather". Hope this helps!
