You don’t need to be a professional meteorologist to appreciate the versatile Stratus 6330 Precision Rain Gauge. However, if you are, you are going to love it.

This rain gauge is a simple instrument that does not require wiring, electrical connections or even batteries. It is easy to install and practical to use during all seasons. This instrument measures so extremely accurate that it can be used for official rainfall measurements taken at most airports or other reading stations. This product includes the clear plastic display, an internal measurement tube, removable top and plastic mounting bracket. 

The gauge has a capacity of 11” that provides an inside look into rainfall amounts. You will also gain first hand knowledge of whether or not your garden needs a little extra help staying green and lush throughout the hot summer months. This is a great product whether you are interested in tracking rainfall annually, or you are curious to learn how much rain fell during the night.

The internal tube enables you to collect up to an inch of rain and is designed to measure in increments of 0.01 inches. This measurement allows for a more precise reading. There is an outer cylinder that catches any overflow, which you can pour into the measuring tube to receive the exact measurement. The gauge is also available in a metric measurement model.

Are you a teacher who is interested in supplementing your science course and teaching with hands on activities throughout the year? This is an economically priced tool to add to your bag of tricks to keep students engaged and excited about learning. Encourage them to keep a journal, so they can monitor the local precipitation throughout the school year.

The gauge also becomes handy during the winter months to track the local snowfall. All that you do is remove the receiving funnel and measuring tube. In a matter of seconds, you have an instrument that works for snowfall measurement during those big snowfalls. This will help you know if the kids have enough snow to go outside for a sled ride or build a snowman.

The Stratus Precision Rain Gauge is a high-quality, American-made product. It is also one of the most affordable gauges on the market today.
