Taylor Jumbo Jr. Rain Gauge
Best high visibility tool for casual backyard weather monitoring.
This is the ultimate low-tech solution for tracking rainfall without needing to step outside. The high-visibility float makes reading levels from across the yard effortless, though you do sacrifice the precision and data-logging capabilities of a digital weather station for its simple, analog reliability.
