Where should I place my garden thermometer?<\/h2>
Ideally you’d want to position your outdoor thermometer away from sunlight and somewhere with sufficient airflow. The shade of a tree can work well, and it’s important to place your garden thermometer above the ground – around four to six feet above.<\/p>
What makes an outdoor thermometer work?<\/h2>
There are different types of thermometers used outdoors:<\/p>
Mercury thermometers work when increases in the air’s temperature cause a red liquid to rise up a glass tube, identifying the temperature.<\/li>
Dial (bimetal) thermometers work using metals that respond to temperature differently. The dial is powered by a coil that points to the right temperature.<\/li>
Digital thermometers often use thermistors to measure the resistance of an electrical current. As the temperature changes, so does the resistance.<\/li><\/ul>
