Does anybody know where measuring cylinders can be bought for the standard 5" raingauge? Mine has broken on the end and I can't find any sellers. Do they still make these or does everybody use automatic weather stations now?
Thanks Terry |

In the end I used an old vinegar bottle (fits perfectly) and pour the collected rain into a laboratory 50 ml glass measuring cylinder and do a conversion (rain in millimetres ÷ 126.68 x 10). I have also have an AWS but still take daily temperature and rainfall measurements from standard min and max thermometers and a 5" rain gauge. -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

The price was ludicrous, £35 and that was a few years ago. One could probably pick up a dozen 100 ml measuring cylinders on Ebay for that price. Conversion rate 12.67 ml per millimetre of rain.
