Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Rain gauges should be placed in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain.

Answer 2

Rain gauges should be placed in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain. This is also to prevent the water collected on the roofs of buildings or the leaves of trees from dripping into the rain gauge after a rain, resulting in inaccurate readings.
