A rain gauge is a meteorological device to degree the precipitating rain in a given quantity of time per unit area.  

Explanation:

  • A rain gauge is an device utilized by meteorologists and hydrologists to collect and degree the quantity of liquid precipitation over a place in a predefined region, over a duration of time.  
  • It is used for figuring out the intensity of precipitation (generally in mm) that takes place over a unit region and therefore measuring rainfall quantity.
  • Rain gauges have to be positioned in an open region in which there aren't any any homes, timber, or different limitations to block the rain.
  • This is also to prevent the water collected at the roofs of homes or the leaves of trees from dripping into the rain gauge after a rain, resulting in inaccurate readings.
