Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so I might head home early.
A: You're very quiet today — everything okay?
B: I'm a bit under the weather, to be honest.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I am under weather today.
Say: I'm a bit under the weather today.
Keep the full phrase 'under the weather' — don't drop 'the'.
