They don't really have "weather". There is no precipitation for a start, and little seasonal variation.
The mean air temperature in most caves of any extent is fairly stable at that of the mean annual air temperature of the region in which they lie, or a little lower, but this can be affected by changes in air circulation or stream-levels.
Bats exploit this in choosing caves as roosts, nurseries or hibernaculae, the last being preferably slightly cooler, and they often migrate from one to the other.
A few UK show-caves are used also for maturing cheeses, thanks to the cool, dark, humid and stable conditions. And very nice cheese it is too!
The air in most caves does circulate, and caves can be pervaded by strong draughts. Cavers use the draught to guide them in searching for "new" caves or extensions to known ones.
Caves in temperate areas especially are very humid, and this plus the cool air can create mist that can be the bane of cave photographers.
A few caves in high Alpine areas are pervaded by ice formations coating their rock surfaces - the Eisriesenwelt in Austria being a classic example.

Why did caves make good shelter for the early settles?
Provided their entrances are dry, caves shelter you from the weather and provide some protection from dangerous wild animals.
What are the different types of caves?
The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.
Where do wolly mamoths live?
Most commonly, they lived in caves to protect themselves from bad weather.
What is the best time to visit caves?
Assuming thse are not show-caves... It all depends on the nature and location of the cave, and the nature and conditions of the trip to it.. You would not want to go anywhere near caves that can flood drastically after rain, in bad weather, for example.
