I would like to be able to know and have embeded the temperature of a location when a photo was made. AI could also research past time and temperature data to add this information to historic photographs that already have time and GPS location embedded. Thank you.
There are multiple historic weather APIs available (example), it should be pretty trivial to write a script to read the location and time from the EXIF data of your images, call the API, and them dump the info into a list or back into the image metadata.

Could be, but I don’t really see the value compared to location.

I’ve traveled quite a lot with my camera, and never thought afterwards “Ah, if only I knew which temperature they were shot at…”
Considering there’s been basically zero implementation at the moment, neither open source nor commercial, there probably is no demand for a feature like this.

If the camera has an accurate thermometer on board, would be helpful to embed the value in EXIF.
If there is no thermometer, should embed only the time and location. If someone really needs temperature, it should be determined from external weather DB, not embedded in the photo.

Embed only true facts, not best guess derivations from external sources.
Elevation would be fun as well if that’s not already an option?

Thats already being saved by most cameras

elevation, not temperature
It wouldn’t be difficult to write this script as a darktable plugin, but I imagine you’d struggle to convince the maintainers to merge code to allow for searching or categorising based on a custom metadata tag.
I’m less familiar with other programs, but I don’t see any of the proprietary options implementing this.
