This looks similar to what I designed for myself using Meteogram[1].

That's what google maps already does, and has been doing for ages... https://timeline.google.com/maps/timeline

If you use android, take a look at https://www.google.com/maps/timeline

My colleague just showed me http://geoguessr.com/, which is a pretty fun twist on the same concept.

Some years ago I've created an interactive map that serves similar purpose: https://weathernomad.com

I wrote a little script a few years ago to make a nice map out of my location history:

This is based on a different mapmaker's work (there are several of them), but is generally what you're looking for:
