temperature sensors don’t measure wind chill. Wind chill is what you feel due to the wind blowing away your body heat. The ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the car in front of the radiator and the condenser. As long as the car is moving forward it is getting fresh air. At low speeds at at stops, the radiator fan turns on drawing fresh air across it.
