weather sensor help!?!

funinalaska

Does anyone know of a outdoor humidity sensor that works in extremely cold temps?

I need something that is moisture save and that will work at temperatures well below -40

I need it to have a minimum 2M watertight lead.

Right now for temperature I am using the DS18B20

It works for temperature but have now discovered I also need humidity readings as well.

    Yes, I am aware of the DHT22

    But as I said I need something that goes WELL BELOW -40

    I guess I should clarify, we regularly see temperatures below -50C

    and fairly common are temperatures below -55C

     

    Also since our temperature range here is fairly drastic

    -55C in winter up to about 25C in the summer, what is the best way to protect a sensor such as these outdoors from precipitation, blowing precipitation (snow) and dew?
