A home rain gauge is the perfect way for you to keep connected to your garden all year round.
Taking daily rainfall readings can be a fun activity with children, or a mindful activity to do on your own each day and allows you to keep track of how your local environment is changing over time.
Slip off your shoes and pad barefoot along the grass with a hot cup of coffee in hand. Close your eyes and let the sun warm your face. Our gardens are a place of play, growth and rest for our families, but they’re also ecosystems all of their own.
We use our phones to track so many things in life, so for this activity we’d like you to put pen to paper. Use our rainfall chart to keep daily rainfall readings, and then use these to plot monthly totals. A great way to get little ones understanding weather systems, as well as numbers and graphs.
Rainfall records are an ideal tool for gardeners, showing you what types of plants your garden is right for, and allowing you to minimise water usage by making the most of your local microclimate.
Illustrated by a member of our ClimeMET team, our hand-drawn rainfall chart features beautiful UK flowers and wildlife to bring a touch of the outdoors to your daily routine.
Choose between our Garden Rain Gauge, or our enrty-level Ground-Spike Rain Gauge which can go direct in the ground thanks to its two-part design and doesn't require fixing to a fence or post.
