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.

How are Erosional caves formed?
Erosional caves are formed when water dissolves and carves through soluble rock formations like limestone, creating passageways and chambers underground. Over time, the continuous flow of water erodes the rock and forms distinctive cave structures. As the water table changes and the rock continues to weather, erosional caves can further evolve and change shape.
What is the temperature year-round in Carlsbad Cavern caves?
The temperature in Carlsbad Caverns caves remains relatively constant year-round at around 56°F (13°C). The caves maintain this consistent temperature due to their depth and insulation from external weather conditions.
Are caves hot or cold inside?
They can feel quite cold in wamr weather and relatively warm in Winter - but most significant caves settle on the mean annual air temperature of the location in which they lie. It's not an entirely hard-and-fast rule because individual caves are affected by their natural ventilation and the presence or not of streams, but it's a good guide.
Why are no caves formed in feldspar?
Feldspar is a constituent of igneous rocks, primarily granite, and does not form rock masses alone. Also, although it does weather, very slowly, neither it nor the igneous rocks generally have the solubility of limestone. Caves do form in granite etc by subaeriel, sea or riverine erosion, but they are generally small, shallow rock-shelters, not conduits as in limestone caves.
What kind of weathering created most limestone caves?
Most limestone caves are created through a process called chemical weathering, specifically carbonation. This occurs when rainwater combined with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere creates a weak acid that dissolves the calcium carbonate in the limestone bedrock, gradually forming caves over time.
How did the Incas climate and physical was?
By how they weather in caves.
Do Kangaroos live in caves?
Kangaroos do not live in caves. In bad weather, they may shelter under cliff overhangs or perhaps the entrances of caves, but they do not live in caves.
How do sea caves foem?
Weathering and Erosion of cliffs by weather and waves.
Do tigers prefer hot or cold weather?
ooh are u single and hott like a chili peppere!
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.
Why do you think people lived in caves during the ice age?
For the same reason we live in man-made caves, (houses), today; to keep out of the bad weather.
Why did caves make good shelter for the early settles?
Caves provided protection from weather, predators, and other threats, making them ideal natural shelters for early settlers. The constant temperature inside caves also helped regulate body temperature and provided a secure place to sleep. Additionally, caves were readily available and required minimal effort to modify for habitation.
Where do wolly mamoths live?
Most commonly, they lived in caves to protect themselves from bad weather.
Do lions live in caves?
Lions do not typically live in caves. They usually live in grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands where they can easily hunt for prey. Lions may, however, use caves for shelter or to rest during extreme weather conditions.
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.
How are Erosional caves formed?
Erosional caves are formed when water dissolves and carves through soluble rock formations like limestone, creating passageways and chambers underground. Over time, the continuous flow of water erodes the rock and forms distinctive cave structures. As the water table changes and the rock continues to weather, erosional caves can further evolve and change shape.
Why did they live in caves?
Ready-made shelter from the weather and wild animals, before building skills were developed.
