•The rain gauge should be placed in an open area away from the walls, fences, trees and other coverings which may reduce the amount of rain falling into the bucket. Additionally, trees and rooftops may be sources of pollen and debris.
•To avoid the rain shadow effects, place the rain gauge horizontally, on the distance corresponding to two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.
•It is important that excess rain can flow freely away from the rain gauge.
