The Best Indoor and Outdoor Thermometers for Every Situation
Not all thermometers work in the same way. These are some of the best that are made for all types of uses.
When I need to ask for the temperature outside, I ask my Alexa. But obviously, that’s not always possible and hasn’t always been the case. My parents have had the same L.L.Bean thermometer for probably close to 15 years and I habitually check it when I visit instead of asking the Echo that sits right next to it. Thermometers are incredibly handy for a variety of situations, from figuring out what to wear to making sure your food is done. We’ve rounded up the best thermometers for any situation.
