How do you make an improvised rain gauge?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

To make an improvised rain gauge, you can use a straight-sided container like a jar or a plastic bottle. Place the container in an open area where it can collect rainwater. Measure and mark the container in increments to track the rainfall.
