Windows needs to stop showing tabloid news
Looking out my window doesn’t tell me how hot is actually is. It certainly won’t tell me how hot it will be in 2 hours or when the sun will set. :)

You gotta open the window to find out how hot it is. After noon, stand facing West and see how many hand-widths between the horizon and the sun… each hand-width is an hour until sunset. Source: Boy Scouts

at the extreme risk of being put on a list, what is the standard boyscout hand-width?

That depends on the age of the boy scout, of course. But so does arm length.

Given that the Boy Scouts of America kicked off the modern scouting movement in 1910, the answer to African or European, is American.

And likewise cold. And humidity. And how it might change in eight hours.
