In my humble opinion having built a couple boxes for wireless bridges to shield the radios from rain, the more venting the better. As much as possible to cool the equipment and in your case avoid condensation. I glued styrofoam board to the metal roof to reduce heat from the sun while leaving bottoms open with wire screening to prevent bugs and let moisture out. I also put 2 inch holes near the top with screening to let heat rise out of the holes while fresh air comes in. I wouldn't put a temperature sensor inside the box due to the fact that you are readings will not be actual outside temperatures but box temperatures.
