Default Car external temperature sensor location?

I have a peugeot partner escapade. It doesn't have an external temp
thermometer and I'm thinking to install one.
Where do they usually position the sensor bulb on the car, to measure
air temperature it has to be positioned so that it is shielded from
direct sunlight, have exposure to clean air so to speak, and not be
exposed to engine heat. Any tips or ideas?

I mounted the sensor of mine below the driver's mirror. Ran the cable
through the door under the hinge and under the footwellmat. Despite the
door being opened and closed around twice a day for 5 years, the cable never
failed. The sensor fell off once when the double-sided sticky tape failed,
but I stuck it back on with some silicone cement.
