i believe it means something along the lines of "Do you live in Japan?" or "Have you been to Japan?" because Nihon means Japan or Japanese and the desu ka at the end makes it a question. I don't know about the ima tenki, so don't count on me for an exact translation, but that's my best guess.

Update: No. im not fluently in japanese. but as u said, Nihon means Japan and tenki means like weather and "ka" makes it all to a question. so i would say it mean more like

Hows the weather in Japan?

but as i said im not 100% sure..

You guys are getting there. Nihon is japan, no is a possession marker. Ima means now. Tenki is weather. And do desu ka makes it a question. So how is the weather in Japan right now? Or something like that.

How ironic. You just asked "What does "What is the meaning?" mean?"

I laughed at that.

Imi = meaning

wa = (topic marker, comes after a noun)

nan = what

desu = it is

ka = (question marker; turns "it is" into "is it?")

Literally: "What is the meaning (of that/what you just said)?"
