If the meter is not calibrated, the measurements may be very wrong.

What is the purpose of the rain gauge?
The purpose of the rain gauge is simple, to meausre how much rain has fallen in the last 24hrs. The gauge is reset every 24hrs for accuracy and if rainfall exceeds expectations a graph is plotted to measure how much rain should fall on average for the following few days.
Does shape or placement of a rain gauge affect its accuracy?
If it covers a larger area it would be more accurate, and if it was under open sky it would be more accurate, otherwise it wont allow the water to get to it.
How does the rain gauge works?
Rain gauge measure quantity of rain in average height of rainfall per unit area. Basically, any container with the same area from the top to bottom would do. Rain gauge can simply be made by putting any cylinder in the open and measure the height of water collected after rain. Some advance rain gauge would have a wider mouth for rain collection and the level would be made in ratio and transform the reading to mm of rain fall over the collector. Advantage of having larger collector is the more accuracy.
How does a rain gauge work rain gauge?
a rain gauge works by first making sure it rained, and seeing how many inches the rain filled up the rain gauge.
Does a rain gauge measure the amount of rain?
Yes, a rain gauge measures the amount of rain to fall above the gauge.
Why you cannot place a rain gauge near trees?
Improper readings could result because of rain being diverged from the gauge by the trees leaves, or dripping water could also affect them.
How does the funnel in a rain gauge increase the accuracy of the measurement?
It increaces it's accuracy because it stuck it's big fat cylinder in the tiny hole it caught all of the juice that wouldn't usually catch the bottle
