The range should be something like -40°F to 120°F (-40°C to 50°C), this is typical for most ambient temp sensors

I would think that is probably close, but do not know for certain.



As long as we are sharing cold temperature stories, it was down to a freezing 54 degrees the other night and required me to wear my leather jacket.
