Nice. Love the seamless burp! Bought my 1st one of these doohickies today. I’ll use your method with my indoor digital thermostat. God Bless!

Thank you kind Sir! I looked all over the place for forever it seemed like, searching for exactly what you just did! You did it so well too, I truly cannot thank you enough! 🤗 Have yourself a blessed and beautiful night! 😃

The error of looking at the needle at an angle versus looking at it straight on is called parallax error.

That's just what I was looking to learn. I like you, you're all right. Thanks!

1:15 Happened to me too. It was like 40 or 50 degrees outside and I pressed it against a dark surface that had direct sunlight and it went up to 130 probably.

Thank you! Best answer I got about calibrating an outside thermometer!

I had no idea!!! Thank you very much 😊!!!

I never knew that, thanks!

78.8 "im going to say its 78." Why go .8 down when you can go only .2 up? Its 79...

Thank you, I'm going to try this!

That works.

0:50 Burps and doesnt skip a beat...lol

You can also do that the little brace around the shaft just turn it nedile moves also depending we're you put the where do you put the thermometer can effect temperature should be 5 feet off the ground not to close to a surface and not near shiny surface sun reflect can affect temperature and if on cold surface can affect and 6 feet different placement temperature can be different as I have one on porch and one facing bedroom window about 8 to 10 degrees different ps hold by the outer edge other wise may pick up your body's heat

i have a really old Springfield outdoor dial thermometer. it has the same spring coil this one has, but no shaft pointing out through the back. id guess i would just turn the dial if it is off.

I will watch em all lol

You sound like Arthur Morgan. Lenny!

Insert Billy Madison quote here.

Also, you have to account for skewing across temperature ranges vs. just calibrating it at one temperature. Cheaper digital thermometers are often not much more accurate; see percentage range in their specs, e.g. 1% across x-range.

I just got the same thermometer today, and my other thermometers turned yellow when left outside in the elements. How do I prevent that?

Thanks. Very informative. Lol

Does these patio thermometer need battery to run?

I'm confused, are you saying if you turn the shaft at the back it turns everything at the front inside including the red pointer?

I think ur spring is suppose to b on the outside of the back then a cover but then wont b effected by the sun. Im not an expert but jack of all traits hope help buddy

Does the digital thermometer on the weather or clock needs to be calibrated?

U can have a video of watching birds chirp and I would watch it. Ok maybe I had to many blue cups

way and go get a good multimeter then you'll have a thermometer that you can move around to where ever you want it to be and you'll always have the right temperture.

I find it very hard to calibrate a thermometer, because obviously when you're holding it in your hand, it picks up heat then it's very hard to judge exactly how much you need to move the needle, because the needle itself is moving due to the heat from your hands... I've tried this many times with my analogue thermometer & it NEVER matches the temperature of another calibrated thermometer.

Did he just burp???

Perfect, thanks.I thought if I buy an overly expensive thermometer, it would work better......WRONG!!!

But how to fix the loosen red arrow of a thermometer??

it is 78.8 brother, NOT 78, i would calibrate the thermo to 79. you are off .8 degs the way you did it. just saying.

My thermometer does not have a protruding shaft to turn. It has a hole and something rectangular inside. Why don't you consider buying several different types and showing us how to do them?

So, you’re calibrating one thermometer with another? How you know your digital gauge is accurate?

Might wanna edit out the burp......

Really? You need a hobby

Useless

I'm sorry but after watching the first two minutes of small talk I had to move on. Please get to the point a bit faster next time. Thank you
