Checking Winter Temperature on a Porch
Monitoring outdoor temperature helps families decide on appropriate winter clothing before heading outside. Outdoor thermometers mounted on porch walls near doorways provide clear temperature readings away from direct sunlight. A boy wrapped in a warm winter coat and insulated hat observes the thermal column to see how cold the winter air has become.
How Outdoor Thermometers Measure Cold Air
Liquid-in-glass outdoor thermometers contain a safe colored fluid inside a narrow glass tube attached to a marked scale. As the surrounding air cools down, the liquid contracts and recedes lower in the column, pointing to lower numerical values on Fahrenheit or Celsius scales. Mounting the instrument on a shaded porch wall prevents sunlight from distorting the temperature reading.
