DHT11 with temperatures outside it's measuring range

A better choice is a thermistor. costs less, performs better

Thanks a lot for your comment. I have a thermistor in my starter kit package I see. Is there anything else I should consider?
Is there substantial quality difference in termistors? And how do I know what temperature range I can use them in?

Some questions I had before using google, will google right now too
