weather thermometer

Outdoor heat measurer

A weather thermometer is a thermometer designed to measure outdoor air temperature.

Unlike medical thermometers, weather thermometers cover a wider range of temperatures and are built to withstand outdoor conditions.

They're typically mounted outside windows, on porches, or in weather stations: The weather thermometer read fifteen below this morning.
