The word "weather" is a noun. But in English, we can use nouns as adjectives. In the following sentence, "weather" functions as a noun: "We're having fine weather today." But in this next sentence, "weather" functions as an adjective, modifying the noun "report": "Turn on the TV and listen to the weather report." Another example: Weather forecasters like to call themselves meteorologists.

As a nautical adjective, weather means "to windward." For example Give her more weather helm, we're making too much lee-way.
