how high will our temp sensor read?

Brian_B · 06-23-2005, 11:03 PM

Hi all,

I know its a silly question. Today was the hottest day here so far. My temp sensor in the overhead console read 99 degrees.

Will it read into the triple digits? I assume I will find out in a few days, but I am curious now. I expect July and August to be really bad this year.

Thanks,
Brian_B

Last week mine read 118 when I was leaving work. So, yes it can read into the triple digits.

I thought 99 was hot.

At least I know it will go higher now. Thanks.

Hey, it's a dry heat.

I just found this in my girlfriend's pictures, this was a couple weeks ago.

Thanks guys. I believe you. It just seemed weird that mine stopped at 99 that day. I guess it was 99. LOL. I just bought it in January, so thats the hottest I have seen here so far.

I don't know anything about dry heat (Arkansas native), but that still seems hot to me. :O
