How to Use a Rain Gauge - Measure Precipitation Accurately #116721 (License: Personal Use)

This illustrated rain gauge features a wide funnel to maximize collection area, a narrow graduated tube for accurate volume reading, and a cross-shaped metal base for stability outdoors. Raindrops fall into the funnel, flow down the neck, and accumulate in the lower chamber where measurement markings indicate millimeters or inches of precipitation. The design ensures minimal evaporation loss and reliable data for weather tracking or irrigation planning.
