This obviously assumes you disable mobile data and only have WiFi enabled. I’ve seen it on my smart phone when I turn on my VPN it shows that my IP address is at the selected location but my weather app still shows me at my real location.

basically, your VPN takes your data, wraps it up with new IPs address, and sends it to a sever, form where it is released into the wider internet, and to which return traffic is sent to be forwarded to you.
your weather app is likely sending traffic to its home server saying (for example) “what is the weather like in Washington DC?”. the VPN doesnt change that request, just the address it was sent form.
