Web Accessibility Tutorials (WAI) has pretty good examples of different tables:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/tables/

Just note, stuff like <caption>, <figure>, <figcaption>, don't work too well in many readers... so probably avoid using those.

If you need titles/captions, usually I just add a <p class=""> outside of the <table> itself:

<p class="tabletitle">Table 1: The Weather</p>
<table>
[...]
</table>
<p class="caption">This is a caption.</p>
