That's fine, and if the circuit wasn't GFCI protected, you'd use a GFCI
outlet with a "rain tight while in use" cover

Actually, I'd do that anyway. No point in having the
re-set button on the other side of the wall.


Even with a cover in place, an exterior receptacle is prone to premature
failure from temperature and humidity extremes. Having the GFCI inside
is a good idea.
