Note the temp on the instrument panel. Book says it measures OAT, but it always seems to read a couple of degrees hotter than the actual outside air...

if you speed up in me mums car it gets colder, bout as reliable as a weather forecast
yes i know i cant spell half the time! Thank you kindly to those few who pointed that out
Is true. Usually when I get into the thing at the end of the day to drive home, that's the hottest it will ever read, and it drops as I start driving. But not today. When I climbed in it read 104, and climbed steadily to 112, dropping to 111 by the time I got home. A 30-minute drive. Weather guessers say it's 107-ish. It got this hot in the Central Valley of California sometimes, but not so much humidity.

100.5 on my front porch this afternoon. I sure didn't like having to go out and work in it. But somethings have to be done regardless of the weather.

Watching the news, and the weather guesser says the humidity is 13%, which is exceptionally low. I guess I thought it was high because it's so friggen hot (Africa hot!!) Currently 108 and holding. Geez.

What I do is when the inside of my car is hot from sitting all day I roll down all the windows for a couple of minutes and put the ac on full load. After a few minutes roll them back up. It is much easier to cool down a 95 deg car than one that is 100 and up.

Paul, I forgot to tell you earlier to fasten your seat belt...
Most of those "OAT" gauges in modern cars actually measure the air temp in the ducting leading to the engine. It's part of the computerized engine fuel control system.

Well,we had 113* yesterday and it is sitting at 111* right now here in Mesa,Az.
The meteorologists (and therefore weather forecasters/reporters) give the OAT as measured inside a Stevenson screen (small box with louvred walls) to cancel the effects of radiation, wind, etc. It is very unlikely that an automobile will give a perfectly accurate reading.

It was hot here in North Central Ohio as well. The OAT thingie in my co-worker's Kia read 104 degrees out in the parking lot at 7:30 Pm....the temp thing at the bank read 105 when another co-worker drove to the drive through for some smokes at 7:30 PM...the thermometer on my mother-in-law's gazebo read 98 degrees in the shade at a little after 7:00 pm (12 miles difference between work and home). The thermometers inside the packing room at work read 115 degrees all night long!!!!! That is HOT HOT HOT!

Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand.I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black, Tell them I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be.
Since I found Serenity. But you can't take the sky from me...
