About to enter the second month. Not too bad. Been a rainy start though. About 150mm (5.91") this month.
Was 6.3C (43.34F) this morning, hit a maximum of 15.4C (59.72F) earlier. Currently 13.8C (56.84F)

It's like our spring, only less wet.
Been out in this rain with the CX-5 and performed as asked
Keep in mind though that 'official' temp readings are usually from weather stations that positioned so that they aren't affected my concrete surfaces, buildings, or other heat sinks. A vehicle's temp reading is probably reasonably accurate for the area the car is positioned
Good point. I used to have a Peugeot 306 and the outside temp sensor was in the driver side door mirror housing so well away from engine influences. Mind you if it was in the engine compartment and with fragile French electrics it probably would have stopped working(weakest)

The sender is sandwiched in front of the radiator and the front bumper. It will be subject to transient temperature but doesn’t react quickly so most are not displayed. In hot weather, the fans run so the heat from the engine is mostly kept away. In cold weather it can be influenced by a hot engine for a short time but drops soon after moving. I haven’t got a picture of a CX-5 but you can see it on my old CX-3. The horn is on the left and the sender is exactly opposite on the right side with white wires going to it.
ok

Thanks for the detailed explanation (2thumbs)
As suspected, not that accurate due to lots of variables.

Thanks for the photo! The diagram I saw didn't make the location clear.
Your explanation makes sense, and indicates that it will have to be in motion to be accurate, or at least not stationary for long.

Maybe they fixed it in 2017YM, but my 2015 is the same as the others on the lot when I questioned them. They thought they had an issue too, but they tested a few others and it's all the same. Just a quirk.

Heater heats, interior just leaks. No insulation in the car. Sucks for heat in winter.
