956 views

I can’t think of a location within the bodywork of a car that would provide accurate data considering wind-chill when it’s moving, excessive heat from either the engine, or stationary in the sun.

Its not mega accurate doesnt have to be, wind chill isnt temperature its just wind. It Will probably be placed somewhere Away from hot parts that gets Airflow likely in the front. On my car its in the front left brake cooling duct between the Wheel well and the front bumper.
