It is not proper to use temporal in this situation (At least it is rarely used or less common used in the sense of temporary)

  • Relating to worldly as opposed to spiritual affairs; secular.
  • Relating to time.

I've never heard the term "temporal variable", so I'm going to assume you mean "temporary variable".

Temporal means “pertaining to time”. Personally I have not enountered this word in normal speech at all, even in somewhat formal writing.
