The (ambient) temperature gauge should be showing the outside temperatures. You can also be selecting Farenheit or Celicius temperature which may appear confusing. For example 70F is about the same as 20C. The sensor for this function may also be failing if your numbers are not making sense....if it's snowing, it's not 70F but it could be 20F. These sensors are located up front in the grille.
