Sure, why not? Chemical composition, temperature, and pressure of the atmosphere are just physical parameters (e.g. elements of a feature set) like any other (e.g. colour and intensity of pixels in an image). Everything that can be measured can be used as an input for ML algorithms. The things that "feel" different are the result of the "post-processing" your brain applies to the inputs it receives (olfactory, temperature, light intensity and -spectral composition, etc.). The sensation is based on physical phenomena, though it might be interesting how much of it remains if we were to take the knowledge about the change of location away, e.g. would you feel the same way if you didn't know you were 3000 miles away? In other words, does knowing about the change in location sharpen your senses such that you subconsciously look for changes in the environment?
