Are there people who don't know temperatures are measured in the shade. Are there?

[RebelinSteel]

Are they people that don’t know most temperatures are measured inside a Stevenson screen or Cotton Region Shelter (CRS)

[Asker]

Did they measure like that in 1800s?

[RebelinSteel]

Yes and they still do today

[Asker]

I put liquid thermometer in the shade in summer and I measure like that.

[Asker]

Street thermometers take the sun under sun and they show high values.

They made a news about a city here because street thermometer was showing 61°C under the sun.

[RebelinSteel]

It’s easy to make a Stevenson screen

[Asker]

I'll ask you a question about my measuring weather in winter.

When I put thermometer outside the window from the building, it showed -28°C.

When I put the thermometer on a metal surface outiside, it showed -30°C.

When I measured with the thermometer in my hand outside, it showed -29°C.

Why were these 1°C changes?

And which one is the temperature?

[Asker]

Be careful that these numbers are minus in winter.

[Asker]

There is no sun, by the way

[RebelinSteel]

Physics

[Asker]

What do you mean?

[Asker]

On metal surface, does it show colder than air temperature?

Metal can't get colder than the air.

[Asker]

You didn't explain the reason of 1°C changes in 3 conditions.

[RebelinSteel]

I did if you understand physics, thermodynamics etc it’s fairly simple

[Asker]

Saying physlcs is not explaining?

Which one is true?

The middle one?

[RebelinSteel]

It is, what happens if the wind is blowing from the north and it’s at 30kts

[Asker]

There was no wind.

[Asker]

Which is the true one then?

The one I measured with thermometer in my hand. It showed in between then.

[RebelinSteel]

Do you not understand about wind

[Asker]

-28°C, -29°C and -30°C

-29°C is in between.

[Asker]

There was no wind at all. So there is no wind factor.

[Asker]

It is zero wind

Oh, I am sure most people don't know that.
