I've just broken my rainfall measuring glass (is that what it's

When I broke mine, as one does, I got a new one from
Metcheck. It was an absurd price (£35, thirty-five quid!) and I'll be
a little wary about going there again.
You could use a common-or-garden 100 ml lab measuring
cylinder, calibrated at 12.77 ml per mm rain. You could probably get
half a dozen of these on eBay for the price I paid, with perhaps a 10
ml cylinder thrown in for small amounts of rain. The excellentBillReadwould be more reasonable, as Bernard suggests.

Has anyone got an alternative address for Bill Read. I, too, am
looking for a measuring glass and have not received a reply from my
request on the virgin email address. Thank you

Unless it's for official puproses I can never understand why people
don't just weigh it on their kitchen scales. 1g = 1ml. Then apply the
appropriate factor for your system. Far more accurate than any by eye
volume measurement.
