A rain gauge is an instrument, which is used to measure rainfall. It is kept on a raised platform so as to ensure that the water splashes from the ground do not affect the amount of water inside the container so that the reading is accurate.
The rain gauge should also not be kept close to buildings, trees, and other obstructions so that it receives the rainfall directly without any obstacles blocking the incoming water.
