Is "the" always required before "weather" and is "a" ever used?

1. "I like the weather in Baku because in this city there is a sunny day almost every day."

2. "I like a warm weather in winter."
 
1. No. For example, "Weather reports are not always trustworthy."

2. No. "A" means one (though the words are not interchangeable). "Weather" is uncountable: you can't have "one weather".
 
1. "I like the weather in Baku because in this city there is a sunny day almost every day."
Can you find and fix the logical error in your sentence?

I think it should be "It's sunny every day." "There is a sunny day every day " seems wrong to me.

Correct. You could also say something like "There's at least a little sunshine every day." Your original sentence is wrong because you can't have a day of any kind every day. You can have a shorter period: an hour of sunshine, a bit of sunshine, etc.
