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.

Your weather app likely has access to your location data collected by your phone’s GPS. The VPN doesn’t change or falsify that data because it’s not part of your internet connection, it’s a completely different thing.
Likewise, if your browser has access to your location data and you give web pages access to that data, they will see that location instead of your IP and assume it’s more accurate. VPNs and many other scenarios make it pretty common that a user’s IP is a poor indicator of their location.
