Rainfall measurement is a simple hobby that anyone with an interest can take up.
It involves measuring the amount of rain that falls in a particular area using a simple instrument and recording the readings in a table prepared for the purpose.
As days pass and years go by, these records can become a valuable repository of useful data that we may otherwise never become aware of.

How to Measure Rainfall

🌧️

What is a Rain Gauge?

An instrument used to measure the amount of rainfall received in a particular area over a particular period of time.

🕐

Recording Frequency

Rainfall is normally recorded once every 24 hours, giving a consistent, comparable daily reading.

📍

Placement

Install the gauge in an open place, free from obstruction, on a platform at least one foot above ground level.

🧪

Choosing a Gauge

A simple glass jar with a flat inner base and uniform diameter works well. Traditional jars to automated weather stations are both available in shops and online.
