Buckets Aren’t Perfect

I don’t have a rain gauge… since I’m not reporting stats for official reporting, buying a rain gauge is not really necessary for measuring rainfall. Some buckets don’t have a flat bottom or perfectly vertical sides, but to get a close approximation of rain, I don’t see what’s wrong with using containers.

Electronic Rain Gauges

As hi-tech gadgets go, electronic rain gauges aren’t very expensive. Does anyone think it is worth getting one?
