I try to keep more specific details of my area off of the public forum. Now, it would be fairly unlikely that stating the exact temperature would identify my exact location, but you never know. People have been doxxed from information you wouldn't ever think would be identifiable.
Hmm, more specific - okay, but "actual temperature" is usually as unspecific as it goes.
Because it's measured by more-or-less precise hardware and more-or-less measurement points in an area. As such I could state the temperature here at one number behind the comma and nobody would be able to link it to anything. This temperature might right now persist in 1/12th of earths surface areas somewhere in some depth / height / regions.
(Because if you're either near a river, near a sea, a hill, mountain, a windy area or a natural hotter place with earth temperatures influencing the measure points, it's even compared to one measurement point in 2 km distance like 2°C difference.)
Not to mention the different forecasts and temperature measurements between different analyzing weather portals, hehe.
But anyway, no need to state it if you don't want to. I know that details can lead to doxxing (even as it would be hard in my case as even doxxing needs a real address.. and not just "somewhere in this area of land!", that's like doxxing a fish), as I was data security manager for several companies in the past.
The other stuff is usually more problematic. Like: images you post (you don't, which is good). If you have a generative time, a shadow, a sun position or stars visible and a rough idea where it could be located by the surroundings visible or prior postings, this could just end in "GeoDoxxers" instead of "GeoGuesser".
There's always the aspect: what can others see? - in real life. Like tattoos. Which might be known by someone. And he tells this around. Or specific abnormal details of the body, but at the end.. that's all not enough without a common base of people which -know- about them and identify them. In all-day life people don't care much about specific little remarks of life on another person's visible parts. While tattoos or piercings stand out quite a lot and get recognized, scars don't easily do. But there might be pictures of them, that's sometimes a problem (with social networks even more due to third persons posting them).
Anyway, gonna give the "GeoDoxxers" some funny lost time: It's 4,3 °C right now and the sun will rise at roughly 7:24 AM. Which is quite precise location information. ?
But does still cover ten-thousands of acres. And I won't post pictures of the stars.
