If that was in degrees F, then I wish I was there!
Maybe the sun was facing that side or the gage is wrong?

Depending on your location, the variance in temperature can come from where the Sun placement is in the sky is this time of year. Also your garden is worked ground which is dark and absorbs heat a great deal more.

Direct sunlight shining on your temperature sensor.
The normal quoted temperature is the temperature measured in the shade.
Obviously, if you stand in the shade, you are cooler than if you stand in the sun. So if the temperature is measured in the sun, then the sun will register much hotter. In this case, 11 degrees hotter!
Does that help?

AS well as attracting the sun heat there are other factors in a garden that reflect the heat so it's easy to get higher temperatures.

Are you thermometer dependent? Got them in the garden, the house, the garage? The bathroom?
South facing=more sunlight=hotter temps.
Unless you live in Peru, or Australia.

the temperature that we are told is the temp taken 'in the shade' so if you have a thermometer sitting in the sun they it will give you a different reading but in the shade whould be the same as what we are being told.

Temperature should be measured in the shade. Direct sunlight will always be hotter.
