How to protect sensitive kit against the elements depends on the
climate, what works in one climate will be disastrous in another.

The weep holes you mention are no-go in certain costal climates, because
they reliably breathe salt-mist in, everytime a low-pressure leaves
the area.

The only thing which is guaranteed to work globally is "helium-tight".

Anything else needs to be judged against the climate in question, including
what kind of aerosols and particulate the wind might bring.
