Is a temperature fluctuation like this possible, or is the temp reader on my car malfunctioning?

1 Answer

Answer :

The rain storm caused the coolant in the radiator to cool down more than you are used to. When the thermostat opened up, the cooler coolant made the temp gauge go down. Your temp gauge reads between 81 and 92 degrees FAHRENHEIT? Are you sure it doesn’t read in centigrade/Celsius? If it was Fahrenheit it would read about 180 degrees.
