Default Car external temperature sensor location?

"Donwill" popple @diddle .dot gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

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?


Underside of one door mirror's the usual place, or under the front bumper.

The former can be subject to heat-soak when parked, especially on a dark
coloured car, the latter can get a bit chilled on cold wet days or soak
from the rad in heavy traffic.
