weather, whether

Weather or weather means what's going on outside--wind, rain, snow, hot, cold, etc.--
She watched the weather report every night so that she would know how to dress the next day.
How's the weather? It's raining.

Whether or whether ( rhymes with weather ) means in case of one alternative or the other--
Do your homework whether you want to or not.
He wants to know whether we're going or not.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"We are going to the beach tomorrow, whether the weather is good or not."

Note--a "wether" ( rhymes with weather ) is a male sheep that has been neutered--
Is he a ram or a wether?
