@Bornaforeigner weet is used for something you know. For example, i know it will rain. And ken is for example a location or a person something like that. I know that boy. I know that restaurant

In addition to Alexandersns, you could say that "ken" is knowing in the sense of recognizing (I know that restaurant, I have been there before or I've heard about it), while "weet" is knowing in the sense of understanding (I know that it will rain, therefore I brought my umbrella with me). Hope this helps.
