Away from entrance effects the mean air temperature is usually that of the mean annual air temperature outside.

It may be skewed by, for example, the cave descending to a blind choke. In that case it will tend to be colder at depth as air#s density increases inversely with temperature so ssinks to the lowest place.

The old-fashioned, pre-refridgeration Ice House used that principle to keep the food-preserving ice frozen as long as possible.
