What is the temperature and air quality Widget video tutorial about?
In this video tutorial "Temperature and Air Quality Widget", I present you the most handy method to find out what the exact temperature is outside and what the live air quality is.
How can we have a live air temperature and air quality widget?
Airly is an application that centralizes data from several sensors installed all over the world.
These sensors, which are also found on the territory of our country, can read both the outside temperature with precision and certain values that show us the quality of the air.
Airly is not a simple application!
Backed by sensors all over the world, Airly is not a simple application.
Using Airly we can see if there is any air pollution in our area, where it comes from.
Airly vs weather forecast
I noticed that when you check the weather forecast, either on Google or on other sites, the outside temperature is either too low or too high. With Airly, the temperature is the real one, especially if you are in close proximity to a sensor.
The outside temperature is not so easy to determine
At first glance, you think it's easy to read the outside temperature using a store-bought thermometer or weather station. This task of determining the outside temperature is more complicated than it seems at first glance.
The temperature is not the same everywhere.
Where do you put the sensor?
If you put it on the window:
- It is influenced by the sun
- It is influenced by the temperature of the wall that heats the glazing
If you put it on the balcony in the shade:
- It is influenced by the temperature stored by the balcony structure
- It is influenced by balcom objects, which can reflect or radiate heat
If you put it on the outer wall in the shade:
- It is influenced by the temperature of the finishing layers
- It is influenced by the air currents on the facade of the building, which are warmer or cooler
As you can see, mounting a temperature sensor is more complicated than it seems. Sure, you can put it anywhere without thinking about anything and that's it, but the measurement won't be exact.
That's why I think the best way to read the outside temperature is through the Airly app.

The exact temperature is debatable neither with temperature sensors nor with applications such as Airly in big cities. Because the temperature in a large city with neighborhoods is not constant due to many factors (shade, sun, heat radiation, cold, relief, height, humidity, wind, clouds, houses, buildings, vegetation, etc.) and changes from minute to minute with plus or minus depending on the season. But in small settlements such as communes and villages, the temperature remains more or less accurate.
