I would mount them at the standard mounting height in the specs, and a few
feet back from the driveway.  Also, if possible I would mount them on a post
witth a shade similar to that used for meterological recording thermometers.
Facing North if practical.  (A north facing shade with side boards allows a
thermometer to always be in the shade at any time of day or in any season in
the northern hemisphere.)
