I believe the answer is:

met

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'got together' is the definition.
('meet' can be a synonym of 'get together')

'talk about the weather?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'me' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
