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.
