Meteorology notes
... Thermometers provide accurate readings only under the proper conditions. Most importantly, if the thermometer is in direct sunlight, it will absorb heat from the sun and produce an artificially high reading. Thus, outdoor air temperature readings should always be taken in the shade. ...
