Accurate rainfall measurement starts with the right gauge. The Stratus® Precision Rain Gauge measures rainfall to 0.01-inch accuracy — the professional standard used by CoCoRaHS and NOAA weather observers. Whether you're a home gardener tracking irrigation, a farmer managing water resources, or a citizen scientist contributing to national weather data, Stratus delivers the precision you need.
Why Precision Matters
Standard rain gauges measure to 0.1 inches — missing up to 90% of the detail that matters for irrigation decisions, weather reporting, and agricultural planning. At 0.01-inch resolution, Stratus gives you the full picture.
The most accurate rain gauge you can buy. NOAA-endorsed, CoCoRaHS-recommended, and Made in the USA — trusted by serious gardeners, farmers, and weather observers nationwide.
