Maybe you could think about some of those sensors:

https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors-347/temperhum-usb-temperature-and-humidity-sensor/
https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors-347/temper-gold-original-usb-temperature-sensor
https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors-347/temper2-usb-dual-temperature-sensor/

For example, I managed to get some incomplete results with TEMPerHUM 
temperature & humidity sensor and temper-python 
(https://github.com/padelt/temper-python) in Wheezy. I sent my reports 
to ModMyPi, www.modmypi.com, to post them on their website. You may 
check there. I wish I had an option to get the monitored data written 
into a file that, in turn, my amateur radio software could recognize as 
a source of APRS 'weather data'. (When I experimented with that sensor, 
a command executed in CLI only returned a single line of data at a time, 
so that did not satisfy my needs. So I would appreciate whether 
temper-python or some other software could be upgraded in that direction.)
