Explanation at your level:
意思
Describes pleasant weather conditions.
文化背景
Koreans often use the weather to express their current emotional state. If the weather is good, it's expected that you are also in a good mood. The concept of 'Fine Dust' ({微細|미세} {먼지|monji}) has changed how people use this phrase. Even if it's sunny, if the dust levels are high, people won't say the weather is 'good'. In traditional Korean poetry (Sijo), good weather often symbolizes a peaceful reign or a well-ordered society. Koreans have a specific word for 'weather that is good for doing something', using the '-기 좋다' pattern.
Add '참' for natural flavor
Saying '날씨가 참 좋네요' (The weather is truly nice) makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Don't forget the particle
While '날씨 좋아요' is okay in casual speech, keeping the '가' makes your Korean sound more structured and clear as a beginner.
