I am getting the temperature from a sensor in my neighborhood. The JSON data is quite different from the map display: JSON: ‘temperature’: 105, ‘temperature\_a’: 105, Map: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/purpleair/original/2X/f/fc05f048977045a6209958f32ac3e24302500f14.png) The actual air temp at my house a few doors down is 96, so the map value appears correct. I see the same thing, JSON about 8 deg higher than map, from multiple sensors on the map. Other JSON vs map data looks OK. Anybody seen this? W ---

Hi @Wiley_Sanders, we apply an eight degree correction to the temperature value on the map. More information is available here: [PurpleAir Sensors Functional Overview](https://community.purpleair.com/t/purpleair-sensors-functional-overview/150#a-note-on-temperature-and-humidity-2). The API will return the raw temperature that the sensor reports. You can see this on the map by changing the data layer to “Raw Temperature.”
