Read the owner's manual, the procedures vary.
Subtract the previous reading from the current reading, and that will tell you how much energy has been consumed between the two readings.
The thermometer reading will change from reading the solution temperature.
Yes.
If it isn't, the temperature reading of the air will not be true.
A barometer reading would change with a cold front because the density of mercury will change with temperature, so a reading must be adjusted for the temperature of the instrument. For this purpose a mercury thermometer is usually mounted on the instrument. Temperature compensation of an aneroid barometer is accomplished by including a bi-metal element in the mechanical linkages. Aneroid barometers sold for domestic use typically have no compensation.
On my 06 grand prix it indicates when the temperature outside is below 37 deg and 'ICE' conditions may be present

The outside temperature sensor on a 2003 Altima is located just behind the front bumper. it is on the passenger side of the vehicle in the undercarriage.
If the outside temperature gauge is not reading the right temperature on a Buick Regal, perhaps it has become damaged. It can also not read the right temperature if it is wet or covered with dirt or snow.
You may have an ambient temperature sensor that has gone bad. I'm not sure what kind of vehicle you have, so I don't know what system your vehicle has. But that will give you a good start.
I doubt if it can be reset. Probably a sensor fault if it is reading incorrectly.
In order to get a more precise and accurate reading.
There are two types of air temperature measurements on aircraft, Ram Air Temperature and Static Air Temperature. (slower aircraft don't normally have RAT gages) Ram Air Temperature, sometimes known as Total Air Temperature, is the air temperature outside the aircraft increased by the heat resulting from the compressibility of the air. The faster the aircraft, the more the rise in the temperature. Static Air Temperature, also known as Outside Air Temperature, is a temperature reading corrected for the compressibility rise to give a true outside air temperature which is used in all sorts of calculations relating to engine performance, aircraft speed, etc.
The temperature gauge in most vehicles is built into the outside body of the vehicle. It measures cold very well because the temperature is not affected by the heat of the sun. When your vehicle is in direct sunlight (especially in darker colored vehicles), sunlight heats the outside of the vehicle to a higher temperature than the temperature outside actually is. Most of the time once you start driving, you will get a more accurate temperature reading.
If the outside temperature is reading an incorrect temperature such as -20, the car will automatically put itself into defrost mode. Which will in turn just blow warm air. 1:- Check for a faulty temperature sensor, which is located at the front of the passenger wheel arch behind the panel. 2:- In my case somebody had done a bad DIY job on the wiring for the outside temperature sensor and the wires had come loose. Once your car reads the correct temperature, your AC should work fine.
The outside air temperature should still have the same reading. The installed sending unit should not affect the temperature gauge.
A garden thermometer is best attached to an outer wall to give an accurate reading of the outside temperature. It uses expansion and contraction of ethyl alcohol to give the temperature readings.
