Morphology
The meaning 'pleasant weather conditions suitable for outdoor activities' is directly and predictably derived from 'good' (favorable/suitable) + 'weather' (state of the atmosphere). This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Good weather comes from the simple image of good meaning pleasant and weather meaning the day's conditions, like sunny, dry, or mild days that make being outside easy. So it means 'pleasant weather suitable for outdoor activities'.
