This is very possible. I use sensors hanging in mylar-wrapped PVC tubes, with one mounted on the outer north wall of the greenhouse and one mounted in the rafters. The outside one is definitely closer to the ground than an official weather reading should be, so on calm/clear nights when cold air pools near the ground, it could be reading a few degrees lower than a similar sensor would ~8 feet up (this is intentional because I’m wanting to know what temperature seedlings at ground level in the yard are experiencing). Here’s my sensing setup outside:
And inside:
