Taylor Rain Gauge
Best simple monitoring tool for casual backyard gardeners.
This is the ultimate low-tech solution for tracking rainfall without stepping outside. The high-visibility floating indicator makes reading measurements from across the yard effortless, though you sacrifice the data-logging features of digital weather stations for a simple, analog experience that just works.
