Hello
We had a real good rainfall before two weeks and i think that the measurement is not as should be according to my experience with rainfall the past 4 years.I was wondering anyone has figured out if there is a known volume of water that gives some mm?
I found on the net that its possible to adjust the screws of the rain gauge but i prefer to exclude all factors first and then try that.The bucket is clear and ready for pouring distilled water which i think is the closest to rain's density.
I have already bought an infusion set that allows you to adjust the amount thats poured into the bucket.
