Dear Pierre,
I now have an electronic thermometer that has an inside sensor and an outside
sensor.
Yesterday it was 41 °C in the shade outside our kitchen window and 29 °C
inside. We stayed inside for the day!
Cheers,

I also once had two degree Celsius thermometers with suction circles that

could seal onto glass. I placed one inside a glass door and the other
outside. That way you could check the inside temperature, the outside
temperature, and calculate the difference without opening the door.
My mom had, in the previous house in Raleigh, North Carolina, a double
thermometer with one having a thin tube routed through the window to the
bulb
outside. One night it was -18 °C outside and it was all the heating system
(which used a heat exchanger and well water) could to to keep it at +18 °C
inside. Here in Charlotte it's been -9 °C a few times in the past few
weeks,
but that's about as low as it gets.
