The weatherduck (www.weatherduck.us) is very cool. But if you're
budget conscious, there are several solutions based on Dallas
Semiconductors OneWire(R) bus:

Here are some other resellers:

www.aagelectronica.com/aag/index.html
www.pucebaboon.com
And some (possibly out of date) linux software:

Disclaimer: YMMV. I have only researched these. I've never actually seen
or used anything listed above. :-)
