I imagine the temp sensor on a car would be located in the front of the car, shielded from the engine and radiator and tires, so air a foot or so above the roadway would blow over it. Mine always seems to read a little low. There may be an algorithm in there some where. We finally made it to 75 in North Everett this year. Now we're in trouble! Temperature: 75.7°F / 24.3°C | Humidity: 55% | Pressure: 29.91in / 1012.8hPa (Steady) | Conditions: Clear | Wind Direction: West | Wind Speed: 0.0mph / 0.0km/h at 19:12 PM-PDT, July 24, 2011 Never topped 74.1°F at my house. However, it's still 81.5°F near the computer, 75.7°F up higher in the living room.
