Description

Plastic measuring cylinder for measuring the amount of precipitation.
The amount of precipitation is measured in millimetres and shows how thick a uniform layer of water would be formed by the amount of rain that fell on the horizontal surface.
In the case of solid precipitation, they are melted and the amount of liquid water obtained is measured.

Put the rainfall meter in a more open place in the garden, not near the eaves or buildings.
The cylinder is attached to a metal pile (included in the package), thanks to which the device is above the ground.
It should be taken into account that in the case of very large rainfall, the precipitation meter may start to overwhelm and some of the precipitation will be lost.
The problem may be the evaporation of water from an open measuring vessel.
If the rains have ended several hours before the observation and the weather is warm and dry in the meantime, a significant part of the rainwater that has fallen may be lost in this way.
To find out how much precipitation fell in the backyard, the precipitation meter reading is regularly fixed daily, preferably at a specific time, e.g. morning or evening.
When the reading is fixed, drain the container.
