Question

Why rain gauge must be placed in an open area?

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. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rain gauge must be placed in open area so that it can measure the quantity of actual rainfall and if it isnot placed at open areas its reading will be disturbed.
