'''For other weather stations''', the main sensor is what is reported for current value, daily extremes, and longer period extreme records. This temperature is also used for calculation of derived values such as Australian Apparent Temperature, Canadian Humidity Index, and USA Heat Index. | '''For other weather stations''', the main outdoor temperature sensor is used for what is reported for current value, daily extremes, and longer period extreme records.
