I parked my ESH outside today and just took it out for an errand. I noticed the temperature reading was initially a couple of degrees higher from sitting. However once I drove after a few minutes the temperatures corrected itself to the outside temperature matching the temperature on the weather app.

I use my body as a temperature gauge. Do I feel hot? It's hot. The car's temp display is just there as a supplement or backup. I really don't think it's anything to worry about. Too many variables outdoors and too many variables with how a person describes and reports back to a forum as to what he is perceiving. In other words, it's not really worth discussing beyond anything casual.

BTW, I apply the same principle to the other gauges and readouts on my dashboard as well. Who needs a speedometer? I can sense when I'm going fast.
