Is the sentence what a terrible weather today correct?

No, the sentence "What a terrible weather today" is grammatically incorrect.

Here's why:

* "Weather" is uncountable. You can't say "one weather" or "two weathers." We use "weather" as a general concept.

* We use "what" with singular countable nouns. For example, "What a beautiful day!" or "What a tasty cake!"

Here are some ways to correct the sentence:

* "What terrible weather we have today!" (This uses the correct structure with the uncountable noun "weather" and emphasizes the general bad weather.)

* "It's terrible weather today." (This is a more straightforward way of saying the same thing.)

* "What a terrible day for weather!" (This uses a countable noun "day" and makes the focus on the whole day being affected by the weather.)
