Joe,

If you're measuring ambient air temperature, then the device doing the measuring must be in shade the whole time.  This is true of plain old thermometers, and it's true of their digital equivalents.  If the measuring device is in the sun, then you are measuring how hot the sun heats up the measuring device, not the ambient air temperature.
