for a post-processing step, I have to evaluate my temperature field at some points outside the mesh close to its boundary.

I know that shape functions are not defined outside the mesh, that's why I wanted to extrapolate them. My idea was to use the gradient of the temperature field to come up with an extrapolation.
But I do not know if that's reasonable.

Like Bruno already said in other words, you are starting at the wrong end of the question. In a first step, define mathematically *what* it is you want to do (and justify why this is the right choice). Then, in a second step, one can think about *how* to implement this.
