Why does car outside temperature sensor reads higher than weather station temperatures?

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.
