hi guys, might appear a silly question, my car outside temperature showed 29 degrees today, not the engine temerature guage, wondered how this works and where it is on my qahqai, that the wind or engine heat doesn't effect it? asked friends this question and started a nice discussion but nobody knows so any ideas please

I have a vague memory that the external temperature sensor is hidden behind the front bumper.
