I'm off to America for a few weeks in June/July and want to pay
attention to the weather while I'm out there. We are camping, so it
makes it easy for me to leave a small weather station near the tent :-)

When I was there last, this was the kind of thing I had to look out for
for temperatures (world's tallest thermometer!):

I'm not too fussed about wind or pressure (we will be gaining 10000ft of
altitude and losing it again very quickly so calibration would be nigh
on impossible), but am interested in temperature and humidity. It's not
going to rain :-)

Importantly, the device must be carryable on a plane (so no mercury
thermometers or anything like that!) and must record the minimum and
maximum temperature from when I reset it. I want to be able to find out
overnight minima of temperature.

I need to travel as light as possible, so it's got to be really small.
And waterproof too if it's going to sit outside my tent overnight.

Anyone got any suggestions?
