Under the soffit is ideal as it is sheltered for the worst of the weather.
Variations in height will make little difference in a domestic setting - in
the past I've had to mount external sensors on rooftop plantrooms of high
rise buildings and have found little variation in temp readings compared to
those at lower levels.

I extended my patio last year, or it might've been the year before, and
sunk a sensor into the grout between a couple of slabs. I'm not entirely
sure why I did it, other than it wasn't much effort and I had a spare
sensor, and I haven't used it in anger yet. Because of the thermal mass
of the slabs around it I don't know if would be any good at predicting
black ice etc. I really need to get it permanently connected and monitor
it for a while.

I'm also planning on putting one outside for air temperature and
wondered whether underneath the upstairs soffit would be representative
(easy access to a Cat5 run). How much does the temperature vary over a
5m height from ground level?

Cheers,

Tim.
