Depends on the kind of thermometer you're talking about. If it's about your own temperature, modern digital ones will measure it through the ear. The old-fashioned ones through the armpit or more reliably, by putting it up the bum.
When measuring the outside temperature, the thing is to measure it in the shade and protect it also against influences by wind or rain.
