I found out this trick to remove weather:
You save the game in the grass where you can catch a Pokémon.
You set the clock to one month later.
After that you load the game and then you catch a Pokémon in the area you saved in.
And…Presto! The weather is gone!
This trick works with all the weather you can't use sweet scent with, and it is not permanent and the weather comes back once you capture a Pokémon or leave the area. After that you must do it again.
I use this trick so I can sweet scent. I would like to know how this trick works. I would like to know so because I wouldn't like to do something I don't understand. And please make the explanation as simple as possible.

Thanks! I appreciate your help.

Did you find out anything else yet? Because now I believe your answer isn't really correct.
I tested this on Giant Chasm in my game -- to my surprise, it's legit. This process does cause the weather to go away. It only worked after I caught a Pokemon (after moving the clock forward and loading the save file).
Seasons are out of the question, because time-based events ignore changes in the DS clock for 24 hours (and sure enough, my game loaded with Autumn both times). I also think RNG is out of the question because this works for the Giant Chasm, where fog is permanent. I think it's unlikely we'll find a confident answer to this question without knowing source code.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Its called date-skipping I don't know anything about it exept it works... But it changes weather in Sword and Shield too so it must have been around when B/W came out...
