Hi! Yes, when you say “The weather is good,” it means that there is good weather. “Not only…but” means that two things are true at the same time. For instance, “Not only do they get along, but they have common interests.” This means that they get along AND they have common interests, too. 


Let me know if you have any more questions!

“The weather is good” is not slang. It’s just a regular phrase. You can also say “the weather is bad” or “the weather is crazy outside!” You can also talk about “good weather” or “bad weather,” as in, “I hate bad weather!” Any of these are acceptable grammar.
