I'm aware of this phenomenon and it's why I specified "the car said". However, I find it a more useful temperature reading if that's where I'm spending my time - walking around on the street.
Knowing what the temperature is at a far-flung regional airport in a shaded housing is not especially interesting to me. I understand the scientific value of collecting that data, but just in terms of lived experience.
And yes, I live in SoCal where it's rarely above 20% humidity when this hot, which is why I was whining about it there. :)
- burnt-resistor 1mo agoI'm not blaming, I'm just saying it's usually an upper estimate. Although, in winter prior to warm up, it could be below ambient. SoCal anywhere near the coast of LA-SD, people complain if it's not 66-73 ℉ like they're dying. ;D I don't need to tell you but go inland or over a valley, and the mercury climbs like a lost balloon. The inland valley way, way NorCal by Sac could be 110 ℉ @ 5% humidity, is hot-ish but not bad. There, it's easy to get dehydrated, as opposed to somewhere like NYC, Florida, or here where summers include free in-clothing showers and saunas. :)
