LESSON XL, A Rain Gauge. It is interesting to notice how much rain falls in a single shower or in the course of a week or month or year. A jar or can, the same size at top and bottom, set in an open space some distance from trees or buildings, will make a very good rain gauge. Measure the depth of water carefully with a ruler soon after each shower and record it in the weather record. Pour out the water after you have measured it. Add the measurements of all the showers for a month or a year to find the total rainfall for these periods. |
