What is rain?

Catching the Rain

Rain gauges collect and measure the rain. Rain is caught in a funnel on top of the rain gauge and runs down into a measuring cylinder below where the rainfall amount is recorded. The information is then sent back to a base unit where the amount of precipitation is digitally displayed.
