The Davis® Rain Gauge Smart Sensors features the new AeroCone® design, for better measurement accuracy in high-wind conditions. This gauge is made from UV-stabilized ABS plastic to provide a cost-effective sensor for rainfall measurement, and is plug-and-play compatible with all HOBO weather stations.
Streamlined design reduces the amount of missed rain capture in windy conditions, resulting in more accurate rainfall data
Improved debris screen locks in place to ensure it remains in place during high winds
16.5 cm (6.5”) collector opening meets World Meteorological Organization (WMO) guidelines
