I'd like to get an outdoor Temperature Sensor that can be used with HA and Google Home. Anyone have any recommendations?

I use this one: https://www.aqara.com/us/temperature_humidity_sensor.html

If you already have ZigBee setup it's easy to use these, if not maybe look for something else.

Yup these are great, sonoff also makes zigbee sensors. Best to buy them off AliExpress, a lot cheaper on there

Same one I use, also made an enclosure to 3D print and protect it from rain. It's been going on without issues since 2020 https://www.printables.com/model/169425-xiaomi-aquara-thermometer-outdoor-case

I have two of these outside, jankily sealed up with electrical tape, and they've survived the British weather for a year so far.

I also use one of these outside with a 3D printed case. Still going strong after about 18 months!

I have one of these outside stuck to my soffit, not in a case, and it's been solid for me.
