I've had some days in the 70s and nights in the 50s. When you're looking at 100+ days in the summer, that's pretty good.

Rainy AF! First real storm of the year for us and my area should end up with about 7.2 inches of rain by the time its all done. The condo pool is very close to overflowing and the creek behind the property was bone dry 2 days ago and now its rushing and is up about 12-15 ft!

UncleWede · 10-25-2021, 11:04 AM

water, just falling form the sky

forecast says .25-.5" today, clearing overnight and back to sunny bliss on Tuesday.

Nobody actually hit me, but there was this one yahoo, pre-dawn, no lights, and he didn't seem to be able to follow the lines when the road was wet.

It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock!

My rain gauge has recorded 2.15 inches since rain began yesterday at 2:49 PM and it's still raining heavily! This our first rain in over 200 days!

Ours has just barely begun to start where I am. Last I looked it was supposed to be about 3/4 of an inch worth.

how does one obtain a rain gauge?

Go to any garden center to buy a cheap manual bucket that you can dump every day.

Spend a bit more money and buy a Stratus 4" rain gauge. It is way more accurate, and acceptable to the CoCoRAHS spotter program for reporting daily rainfall measurements. If you have kids (I don't) it is also a lesson in responsibility in having to record/report/dump the gauge every day.

Above that, something like the 8" Rainwise 111 wired tipping bucket rain gauge lets you see the totals from inside and drains as it counts.

Beyond that, drop the coin for a decent prosumer weather station like the Davis VP2. It comes with a wind gauge, rain gauge, andtemperature/humidity sensor. You can add an Internet logger and send your data to Weather Underground (train wreck these days) and other sites for the public to view/use.

The top level of insanity is having multiple weather stations in your back yard, and scrounging federal auctions to buy decommissioned commercial airport weather stations just because.

My 2018 collection of rain sensors, including the manual Stratus, Davis VP2 aerocone tipping bucket, and a prototype haptic (counts raindrops by sound) that I was testing with the manufacturer:

Rain at first then sunny so got out and about.

vreihen16 · 11-02-2021, 07:02 PM

First freeze warning of the fall up for tonight, with tomorrow and Thursday night forecast to be a few degrees colder than tonight. Looks like the 2021 growing season is over.....
