The alternate need only have the required weather (assuming the plane in question can land on it) that the governing authorities have stipulated in either the Ops Specs or the regulation.

There are times the the destination could be the alternate!! Example, weather requires an alternate, the destination is above alternate weather mins and has two separate runways and approaches. Maybe not wise, but legal
