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


This lot advertise them. Not cheap though.

I finally had to buy one, the measuring cylinder I nicked from work having got broken. 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.
