For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The temperature gauge itself is of coures on the dash of the car, The sender unit (this sends the tempature readings to the gauge) is located behind the front bumper where it is in the shade and also protected from the wind,
The gauge is very rarely perfectly accurate,after a long drive the gauge will read high as it picks up heat from the engine when stationary. When the car is being driven fast the wind will affect it slightly.
Hi gammaray, Clanad and buildersmate are correct, The wind chill is calculated from the heat generated by an average person and the average heat loss which would occur at any particular wind speed, Nasa have anticipated your question and have info here on this subject.
