Does anybody have an idea of what can lead to such wrong values?

Yes, the reason is: you use power kernel 47 and software you use to read temperature is not aware of it. Old kernel reported temperature in grades of Celsius, thus "30" meant 30C. The power-kernel 47 fixes this bug (as the 'old' way was improper and non-standard) and reports remperature in 0.1 grades of Celsius, thus "30" means now 3C. And "300" means 30C. And "280" means 28C. And "285" means 28.5C. So you basically need to divide the reported temperature by 10. So REAL_TEMPERATURE=TEMPERATURE/10, unless someone updates software you use to read temperature (conky?) to be compatible with power kernel 47.
