Ambient temperature is the temperature surrounding a person, human or animal whether inside or outside. It is usually expressed in degrees Centigrade (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

It can be the temperature of the air at a moment in time in a particular indoor environment eg in a living room, data centre or sauna. Services engineers need to have established what the ambient air temperature is likely to be at any one time before they can design a heating and cooling system that will create the best possible conditions for people to work in.

From a weather aspect, ambient temperature is the same as the current air temperature at any one location. For any animal or object, the ambient temperature is the temperature which surrounds it Polar bears and penguins typically live in environments characterised by very low ambient temperatures. The wind may blow hard and it may feel colder (wind chill factor) but the ambient temperature stays the same and only changes when conditions change, eg when the sun shines or night falls.

Ambient temperature can also be used to describe the state of objects. For instance, in electronics, ambient temperature is the air temperature surrounding an LED.

Ambient temperature range is a very important parameter that allows equipment such as computers and other electronics to be used at peak efficiency. This range is typically between 15°C and 24°C.

= Room temperature =

Ambient temperature should not be confused with room temperature. This is a range of internal temperatures which people find comfortable when wearing indoor clothing. The World Health Organisation defines room temperature as being in the range 15°C-25°C.
