where is the best place to place a rain gaugeexplain why?
Rain gauges should be placed on level ground in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain. This is to prevent the water collected on the roofs of buildings or the leaves of trees from dripping into the rain gauge after a rain, resulting in inaccurate readings.
Why should you not place a rain gauge under a tree?

Does a rain gauge measure the amount of rain?

How do you make an improvised rain gauge?
You can improvise a rain gauge using a soda bottle. Cut the soda bottle in half. Run a line of masking tape along the height of the bottles base. Using a marker and a ruler, mark each inch or milliliter along the tape. Place the top of the bottle upside down into the base, forming a funnel. Staple in place to secure. Place the rain gauge in an open spot in your yard to catch the rain.
