air temperature
How hot outside
Air temperature is a measure of how hot or cold the atmosphere is at a given location and time.
It's what weather reports mean by "temperature"—distinct from water temperature, body temperature, or the temperature of surfaces.
The air temperature dropped to freezing overnight.
Wind chill and humidity affect how air temperature feels on the skin.
