Thermometer accuracy

First time posting on here... Is anyone else getting obviously inaccurate readings from their S4 thermometer? Mine is consistently displaying a temperature that's about 5-10 degrees higher than its surroundings via the S Health and Weather Station apps, regardless of whether I'm holding it or the case is on. There isn't a way to calibrate it, is there?

I'm also annoyed by the innacurate readings, but i believe this is due to the increasing temperature of the device. The battery and screen might have an effect on the readings, since they're always higher than the real temperature.

Kind of useless sensor, due to readings biased by the device itself and no practical way to offset for this, unless a physical sensor extender.
