It depends on how far it has traveled. Ash fresh out of a volcano may be as hot as 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Ash that has fallen from high in the atmosphere will be the same temperature as its environment.

It probably depends a lot on how far from the source the ash has flown. Close to the source, the ash is probably hot and would sear your lungs were you to breathe it in. If the air the ash is in, is hot, then the ash is going to be hot.

Volcanic ash forms from molten rock that has been ejected explosively from inside the Earth. Understandably, molten rock is quite hot.
