There's nothing wrong with using a temperature in the sun to describe how warm it actually feels. You're talking the combination of air temperature and infrared heat that creates the "temperature in the sun".
We all know that for meteorological purposes only air temperature is measured, without the solar effect added.
But there's a huge difference between how 70 feels in the shade and the sun. When a thermometer is exposed to the sun what you see on it is what you feel when you go out in the sun. That's why I also don't see why so many people get their knickers in a twist about it.
It's also how I can sit in my room next to the window in the sun and feel very warm when it's only 55°F in the room, but if it were cloudy it would feel freezing.

I agree, I only wanted to explain that it was a pleasant early spring day and that it was nice to sit in the sun, I wasn't trying to prove / claim / suggest anything yet for some reason I got absolute pelters for saying it?? Anyway it was very pleasant in the sun (and in fact pleasant out of it too) yesterday, its sunny and warm here again today but unfortunately its about to change and become more seasonable.
On French weather forecasts, the "temperature in the sun" is sometimes used in summer forecasts. Not like an actual felt temperature, but more like "it's gonna feel hotter in the sun".
It was 17.4C here, with blue dome skies, but felt like it was in the 20's. Unseasonably warm days in March are funny events, nobody knows what to wear. It was a mix between people in coats, and people wearing shorts, t-shirts, and shortskirts.

Using some kind of certain standard in thermometer's material and color i assume?
^^ No measurements, just the weather guy/gal saying that it will feel hotter in the sun. Well, you don't say?!
Temperatures measured in the sun have to be dismissed because the surface heating measured is dependent on the material the thermometer is made of and is different from that of your skin and clothes. So yes, there's no intrinsic "temperature in the sun" and that 41°C reading displayed in front of my local car dealership in mid-April has no value.
Here nothing but blue dome skies and the first 20°C of the year. Hourly low was 3.9°C. I've been sitting outside since 11 am and didn't feel any chill in the air.
Wow this map is as boring as it gets, a measly 22°C between the warmest and the coldest readings excluding mountains.
