I find it most useful on cold days to gauge how many layers of clothing i need to wear (well, not for that moment but for future reference. did i feel too hot/cold with this many layers at this temperature?)
I've got a big thermometer mounted outside on my patio and I look out the sliding door before I take my dog out in the morning.
I do think it's funny in the summer when I leave my bike in the sun and I come back and the computer says it's 115*F (when maybe it's high 80s or low 90s).
