Non-metric is inches. I'd assume metric would be centimeters.

A milliliter is the best unit of capacity needed to measure a drop of rain. Milliliters are used to quantify very small units of a liquid.
Pluviometer, ombrometer, udometer, and hyetometer are all terms meaning rain gauge, but rain gauge is the common term most often used and understood.
you can measure precipition by collecting the water in a bottle(beaker)1,oo. ml gratuaded cylinder.
A rain gauge is a piece of apparatus left outdoors, which collects water during rain. The user reads the amount of water off a scale. You can use a vertical-sided container, and make your own measurements of the water depth. For meteorological purposes, a commercially manufactured instrument is used. For precision, especially when falls are light, the gauge has a funnel, so that the water from a larger area is gathered into a narrower area. This means that the scale has to be enlarged, giving better readings. To see pictures and obtain more detailed information, visit: http://ccc.atmos.colostate.edu/~hail/howto/help/rain.htm
A rain gauge used to have inch as its measuring unit when it was made into use. Nowadays the unit has become millimeter & cintimeter.

You either use a rain gauge and measure at different time intervals, or use radar.
