Their air temperature is generally that of the mean air temperature of the cave's locality, so in temperate latitudes and altitudes they are cool in Summer and warm (ish) in Winter.

It's not an absolute rule though. Caves at high altitudes in mountain ranges can retain very cold Winter temperatures.

The temperature is also affected by flowing streams, air circulation between different entrances, and so on.

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 caves always cold?

Caves are cold because of the cold water inside the cave that runs through most. +++ That's true to a point but caves can be cold with no running water in them - and there are very many cases that are dry. (They have lost their formative streams.) There is a rule of thumb that says a cave's air temperature is about that of the mean annual air temperature for the area in which it lies, but this is not so for all caves.
