I’m not sure however that it will tell you anything about how cold or hot it is outside! Your experience of temperature depends not on the actual temperature of the object that you touch, but on the heat that is being transferred from your fingertips to the object. This is why a 70 degree metal plate feels cold (metals conduct heat well), while a 70 degree wood plate feels warm (wood doesn’t conduct heat well). Ambient air doesn’t conduct heat well, this is why an outside temperature of 70 degree feels warm.
beautiful work anyway.
