I want to be able to record outdoor
temperature
on my PC (and be able to
stick the temp on my website etc.) but I don't
want to have to buy a
full weather station for £hundreds. I also
have
no way of mounting
anything as I'm in University accommodation,
so
have to make do with
dangling something out of my window (which
conveniently enough is nearly
always in shade). Something that could connect
to the serial port would
be ideal.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I could
do? I could knock
something up myself as I have access to a
soldering iron and whatnot,
but a premade option would be best.

One of these is what you want

If you're handy with a soldering iron, you may
also want to look at the Aug and Sep editions of
Everyday Practical Electronics.
