I haven’t had my gps turned ON for a couple of weeks atleast and still whenever I search for the weather, I get to know the weather of my exact location. None of my devices have their gps activated and yet theyre able to get my location. How is that?

Your cell phone is receiving service from a provider. That service is broadcast from towers. Given the latency of the response time of your phone, the tower can estimate how far away you are. The provider has towers everywhere, and if they get a latency response reading on your phone from three of their towers, they can “triangulate” your position with some simple math.
