The "secret" to soldering wires together outside is to use "Stay-Brite"
solder available at any welding supply shop. It is something like 96%
tin, 4% silver, and ZERO% lead. It does have a melting point about
100 deg C higher than 63/37 so use a decent soldering iron/torch. I
have thousands of outdoor Stay-Brite joints that are going
on 25 years old that are doing fine.

I quit soldering copper wires together outside years ago. Use a
copper split bolt instead. Fast, easy, weather doesn't matter, works
FB for years and years, never had one fail.
