Another DIY Modification to the WH1080 Raingauge

[Gina]

One point, looking at that photo - when the rain comes from the direction of that shed I don't think you'll get much in the rain gauge. The rain gauge needs to be well out in the clear, away from buildings.

This is my best experience with modification to the WH 1080 Raingauge. Now I have not differences of rain. It is made with a flexible plastic material measures 5 cm x 11 cm = 55 cm2.

Thank you Gina I am looking forward to seeing photos of your latest modification I heard mentioned in another thread
The Whole Station is going to be relocated / replaced soon so it will suffice for now but I am happy to report that it was a huge success the modification recording 7.1mm of rain this afternoon so far

I don't want you to be jealous but we had 37mm of rain in the early hours this morning!! Glad your mod works well

I'll be posting pics soon - just a matter of cropping and resizing them before uploading.

I had worried about the accuracy of the rain gauge in the past, but, rather than modifying it I have bought a cheap manual collector and compared the two. Over August and September there has been little difference.
