Default Rainfall: AWS versus Manual


My standard 5" gauge averages about 15 percent higher than the Davis
VP. The rim of the 5" gauge is about 9 inches above ground. The rim of
the Davis gauge is about 6 feet above ground.

Not so much of a problem here because my davis rain gauge disconnects
from the ISS with an extension lead so I can have my AWS gauge around
12" from the ground.
