Assuming that you mean temperature (and not temputure - whatever that may be), it is measured using a thermometer which is placed at a height of 1.25 to 2 metres above ground level in a well-ventilated, white box called a Stevenson screen. A Stevenson screen will usually also contain other meteorological instruments to measure humidity, dew point and air pressure.

Details for the setup are defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).


Incidentally, the box is named after a British Civil Engineer, Thomas Stevenson, who was father of the author, Robert Louis Stevenson.
