Slow speed, heavy bullet combo is the least affected by any external factor and gravity drop is extremely predictable given any location. You may have to adjust if you are near a mountain full of iron ore but I've never encountered that as gravity is pretty constant all throughout this region.

Altitude can be a factor in bullet drop but again, it can be adjusted for quickly and predictably.

Temperature and humidity will affect air density but unless changing rapidly, can be accounted for.

These are usually more of a factor in rifle shooting.

Again, for me, nothing is as inconsistent as my seeing/shooting ability.
I am concerned more with being closer to the equator and the humidity, height above or at sea level and the moon phase, of course those who live below the equator have it all in reverse!
