Because the sensor is in direct sun. Heating up the element/probe.
True but mine even shows wrong under my carport......
Really curious about where the sensor is located.

Well, you can google, but it is the same idea.
Some materials store heat.

My vehicles sensor shows temps like that regularly while under the shady carport too. It is because the sensor is within a couple of feet of the hot assed driveway that catches full sun and is actually that hot. Driveways, like roads and buildings are great heat sinks, and this causes unusually high temperature readings.
That is the same reason why it is important for weather stations to not be located right next to concrete, even though there is an inordinate amount of them that are these days, thus skewing actual temperature data for a region.
