Thermometers that measure the temperature outside can be divided into three groups: bimetallic, alcoholic and electronic (with a remote sensor, weather stations). All of them, to varying degrees, do their job because of their peculiarities. Bimetallic serve the shortest time. Alcohol a little longer, but also begin to deceive over time, as the alcohol gradually evaporates, shortening the column of colored liquid. Weather stations are the most durable and give the lowest percentage of error. In this article we will take a closer look at the best models from all categories. We draw your attention to the important characteristics, features, as well as advantages and disadvantages.
