ambient air temp

Anyone know the physical location of the outside air temperature sensor? I need to determine why today it read 81 degrees despite temps in the low 60's. It came back down after driving a short distance but it drives me nuts that the a/c comes on so quickly despite a cool cloudy low 60 degree day.

It is likely located where it is picking up residual engine heat but wanted to check in and get the exact location.

Anyone?

Mine was reading 81 the other evening too when I fired up the car. It was definitely in the 60's which it finally found its way down to on the display.
