Around 0830 the rain got even heavier, so I checked gauge; at 0833 it was now reading 0.09"
Around 0920 the rain stopped briefly; the sun even came out!
Around 0930 the gauge read 0.14"
I checked gauge again around 1030; it still read 0.14"....but around 1045 it started pouring rain again and there was a lot of lightning.
Around 1100 it rained even harder with driving winds.
By 1113, when I looked outside, water covered sidewalks in low areas and water was running fast downhill on them and sides of street. There also was more ponding in yard than usual.
Around 1116 the rain seemed even heavier; still unable to check gauge, due to lightning, but able to zoom in with phone camera and could see inner catch at least 0.8"
Around 1145 the lightning was calmed down to a safer level, and the rain was a very fine sprinkle, so I checked gauge real quick.
It read 0.93" (0.79" just for that storm).
A SigWx report was sent.
Around 1419 the rain picked up briefly.
Gauge read 0.95" (0.02" from end of storm)
At 1702 I did a final check of gauge; it was still reading 0.95"
Total 24 hr catch, read at 0730 this morning, still read 0.95"
Most ponding has infiltrated back into ground fairly well, though the ground is still quite "squishy" in a number of spots. The sun is now fully out finally! |

Just before 0430 I was awakened by heavy rain and loud thunder.
At 0446 the rain got even heavier and I noted water was all the way across low areas of my sidewalk and also water streaming down it and sides of road. Due to lightning I could not check gauge, but can zoom in on it with phone; guesstimate of around 0.8" at 0456.
At 0512 there was a lull in the storm; catch read 0.93"
At 0526 it was still drizzling; catch read 0.94"
(A SigWx report was filed)
At 0530 the rain became heavier again, with further increase around 0554.

| 2026-05-20 | 7:30 AM | 1.14 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Severe storm, with strong winds, last eve between 2100 and 2200; glanced at gauge, when rain seemed to have stopped, which read 0.07". Went to bed after that, but noted a lighter rain started soon after I came back inside; not sure how much it rained overnight. This morning a storm started up around 0715. At obs time the inner tube was overflowed into outer tube; overflow amount was an additional 0.07". Rain continues after emptying gauge. There is a bit more ponding in the low-lying areas of my yard than usual.
I'm adding an Additional note this afternoon after morning obs: got to thinking that my report may have been Slightly under reported; there was a "tiny" amt of rain sitting above the inner tube overflow hole. Because there was lightning in the area, I kinda got in a hurry and dumped the inner tube water onto the Ground (after noting was full and overflowed and going on to measure outer cylinder amt)...versus dumping into the outer cylinder and measuring the Combined amt partial inner tube by partial inner tube, to not Miss any of the collection. (Not sure of amt that can sit above overflow hole; contacted Climalytic but not heard back yet).
Hopefully this has not caused any skewing of data. |
| 2026-05-19 | 7:30 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Very brief fine rain last evening. Reporting as trace, though slightly uncertain, because tiny water droplets Only in very bottom of inner rain catch tube; nowhere else on or within rain catch or on other nearby surfaces. |
| 2026-05-18 | 7:30 AM | 0.02 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | This amt fell yesterday morning, a few minutes after I had made yesterday's obs. I glanced at the gauge several times during the day and no additional rain fell. There also was no evaporation ..though there was a trace of condensation this morning, just above the water line, in the inner measuring tube. Sunny this morning with cool, light winds to 4mph, per my Tempest. |
| 2026-05-17 | 7:30 AM | 0.17 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | There was a delay between signing up and when I received my Tropo gauge, so this obs is actually my First 24 obs!
0.16" of the rain was from a storm yesterday morning, starting around 0930; an additional 0.01" fell a bit later, with a brief rain.
The 0.16" amount fell within an hour or less.
It was windy; locally via Tempest around 6mph gusts; it is 6" up and there are a lot of things that seem to cause turbulence and decreased readings...esp if winds greater than 10mph. That said, the rains fell pretty much straight down at my Tropo station.
The rain started this morning, just after taking my reading; will be included in next report.
Very dark out and Tempest shows lightning less than 25 mi away.
