Объяснение:

Между местоимениями типа my, his и существительными артикли не ставятся. Как и после слова no.

Определенный артикль the используется в устойчивых выражениях и когда мы говорим об уже упоминавшихся или уже знакомых нам предметах/людях.

Для предметов в единственном числе, упоминающихся впервые, используется артикль a (an). Но перед неисчисляемыми существительными его нельзя использовать, поэтому What great weather!
