An indoor outdoor digital thermometer has a long lead on the
outdoor sensor, and it should be waterproof, so just tie it to a measuring pole and submerge to a depth and read. I would expect it to be water resistant not waterproof. I'd add a coat of epoxy... |

Adding a coat of epoxy will insulate it (my outdoor thermometer probe is currently hidden under the new wall of a building addition, and it reads 40C - so it's not just a matter of waiting longer for the outside temperature to get through the epoxy). -- derek |
