Ah, OK, kind of hard to make out in your photo

Presumably only the slot needs to be exposed for humidity, covering the rest of the chip in thick rubber would slow down it's response to temperature changes, but I hope all its edges are at least covered in a thinner lacquer?
I understand you concerns, but according the manufacturer specs http://www.sensirion.com/fileadmin/user ... eet_V5.pdf (Page 4, section 1.7) only the top window is need to be exposed to elements.
Also, the whole sensor family can be seen at: http://www.sensirion.com/en/products/hu ... mperature/
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the window senses both temperature & humidity.
