The "weak" side of a hurricane is generally the left side relative to the storm's motion. This is because hurricanes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise, so the storm's forward speed is subtracted by the wind speed. For example, if a hurricane is moving at 10mph and the eyewall is spinning at 80 mph, then the left side will experience 70 mph winds while the right side will experience 90 mph winds.

What is the wet side of a hurricane?

The wet side of a hurricane is the side where the most intense rainfall and strongest winds occur. This side is typically to the right of the storm's direction of movement in the Northern Hemisphere.

What does a weak play mean in football and does it mean the play is not as good like weak as in a weak counter?

A play is a "weak" play when it is run to the weak side of the field. This means that the play is run to the side of the field with less players. Usually weak plays are run to the side opposite the tight end in the standard football pro-style formation. If the formation is balanced meaning equal players on both sides of the football the weak side is considered to be the opposite side of the natural throwing motion of the quarterback.
