I'd like to get an outdoor Temperature Sensor that can be used with HA and Google Home. Anyone have any recommendations?

I use this one: https://www.aqara.com/us/temperature_humidity_sensor.html

If you already have ZigBee setup it's easy to use these, if not maybe look for something else.

I also use one of these outside with a 3D printed case. Still going strong after about 18 months!

Same one I use, also made an enclosure to 3D print and protect it from rain. It's been going on without issues since 2020 https://www.printables.com/model/169425-xiaomi-aquara-thermometer-outdoor-case

I have two of these outside, jankily sealed up with electrical tape, and they've survived the British weather for a year so far.
