(More customer reviews)This gauge is easy to use, is accurate (if sited properly) and does not cost a small fortune. :) It is hard plastic, and is made for both rain and snow (inner tube and funnel need to come out if using for snow). This same type of rain & snow gauge is what CoCoRaHS uses.
For those that wonder how to take rain measurement, here ya go:
Once the inner tube fills up with rain, then it automatically overflows into the larger tube. The inner tube measures 1" in increments of tenths. If it rains more than that, then the larger tube will start to fill up. If wanting to measure it, just empty the inner tube (we know already that at least 1" fell), now pour the water from larger tube into smaller tube and measure that also. Keep pouring out small tube when full and repeat the measuring. The whole thing has capacity for 11-inches.
When measuring the inner (smaller) tube, there will probably be what looks like a curve/bubble on top of the water, it's normal, but you want to take measurement from the bottom of curve/bubble (or meniscus as it is called), if you need better accuracy in measurements.
