With the onset of cold weather, every person increasingly looks at his thermometer installed outside the window to find out how to dress today when going outside. Often people are faced with the problem of incorrect readings of this device.
This fact occurs due to the fact that when the apartments include central heating, there is a sharp difference between the temperature inside and outside the room. If the difference does not exceed 30 C, then it practically does not affect the readings of the device. This is achieved through the improvement of window structures and their installation technology.
But if the difference exceeds a value of 30 C, the thermometer may not display correctly (usually 5 degrees higher than it actually is). This fact can be explained by the fact that the thermometer is very close to the window.
Nevertheless, the street thermometer does not lie, but gives an error. But even it is relative, because It does not converge with the current street temperature, but it is precisely this temperature now in the place where it is installed.
In order to save yourself from the above problems, you must correctly install a street thermometer. First you need to determine the type of device that you will install. Old ones were fastened to wooden windows using self-tapping screws. Today, almost all houses have plastic windows installed, which changes the situation.
For such cases, a special outdoor thermometer for plastic windows is on sale. The peculiarity of this device is that in places where it is attached to the window there is a
double-sided tape that has good adhesion to plastic. Therefore, having glued the thermometer once, you can use it for many years.
If you have old-style windows and are made of wood, or you are a supporter of clean environmental materials, it will not be difficult to install a street window thermometer in this case. To do this, use wood screws of small length. They will firmly and permanently attach a thermometer to the window.
When installing a street thermometer on your window, consider the following feature. In order for it to show the most accurate values possible, it is necessary to place the thermometer in a zone that is located away from all kinds of buildings, communications, which in most cases is simply impossible to achieve.
If you want to get more accurate values of the outdoor temperature at the current moment, it would be advisable to install an
electronic thermometer. This type of device in its design contains electrodes that are more accurate than a conventional
alcohol thermometer. Often, it happens that the scale on a conventional thermometer is not located correctly, and as a result, the temperature value is too high or too low.
Thus, by installing a street thermometer on your window, you will forever save yourself from viewing weather forecasts for the near future and you will find out the temperature on the street exactly in the place where you live, and not the average for the region.
