The thermometer of most cars is located at the front of the engine compartment. This allows it to pull in air from the outside to more accurately measure temperature.
Hi, they are usually located just behind the front grill.

A digital thermometer for a car can be purchased at Canadian Tire, Amazon, Walmart and other retail stores. There are many digital in/out thermometers that can be used to record temperatures from a car. Prices range from approximately $15 and increase accordingly.

use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Light does not have a specific color based on the thermometer's location. The color of light is determined by its wavelength, which is emitted by the light source. The thermometer's location does not affect the color of the light.
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
It usually indicates that the car is due for a service
More than likely it is because it is in different conditions than the official weather stations thermometer. An official thermometer is in the shade and has air circulation. This is how an official temperature gauge has to be set up. The temperature reading from your car could be higher for a number of reasons, partially dependent on where the thermometer sensor is located. It could be in direct sunlight, near the engine, or if you are on pavement it could be receiving ambient heat waves coming off the pavement. All three of these things could increase the temperature reading of your gauge.
Usually located on the left outside rear view mirror
