Shocking information: Is the air temperature in the shade the same as under the sun?
Weather of Arabia - Dr. Abdullah Al-Misnad, who was previously a professor at Qassim University and Vice President of the Saudi Weather and Climate Society, revealed important information confirming that the air temperature in the shade is the same as the air temperature under the sun.
Scientific method for measuring air temperature
From a scientific standpoint, the air temperature must be measured in the shade using a thermometer placed inside a white wooden box that is completely isolated from any external metal or color influence, and the box must be at a height ranging between 1.2 to 2 meters above the ground to avoid the influence of the ground’s surface on temperature.

The difference between temperatures under the sun and in the shade
Under direct sunlight, the temperature of objects can rise significantly as a result of their absorption of radiation, making the measured temperature reflect the temperature of the metal surface of the device being used, and not the temperature of the surrounding air. This makes the expression “in the sun” temperature unscientific in the strict sense. .
Scientific evidence and correct measurement
Evidence of this is that the temperature gauge in cars measures the temperature of the air that the car hits under the rays of the sun, which shows that the result is close to the temperature measured in the insulated wooden box.
Since laser temperature measuring devices actually measure the temperature of the metal surface illuminated by the sun, the expression “temperature under the sun’s rays” has nothing to do with scientific reality, as air by its nature is not solid, but rather a moving gas.
Based on these scientific explanations, the difference between temperatures measured in the shade and under sunlight can be understood correctly and scientifically.
