Default Ambient air temp wrong

THough we've had a heat wave since Irma, I thought my air temp indication was off. Just went outside, turned the bike on and it said 94F. Checked my phone and it reads 77F. Checked the WX channel and it reported 74F for the Atlanta area.

Is it out of calibration? Can something be done to correct it?
My Trike has 3400 miles and is less that two months old.

The sensor is probably correct. It reads the air around it & is located on the left side of the steering head behind the fairing. Usually will take about 3 or 4 miles at 50 mph to sweep in new air that's at ambient temperature to get a correct reading.
