Lamotte 1047 Rain Gauge Overview

The Lamotte 1047 is a clear analog rain gauge designed for post mounting. It stands ten inches tall with a 5.5 inch gauge height and includes a six inch built-in stake. Mounting hardware is supplied for direct installation. Graduations show one millimetre and zero point one inch increments.

Suitable Uses and Limitations

This tool suits gardeners, farmers or weather watchers who need a simple manual rainfall reading. The analog scale requires visual checks at the mounting location. It does not record data over time or transmit readings remotely. Buyers needing digital logging, wireless reporting or automated alerts should consider other instruments.

Deciding Specification

The post-mount design with integrated stake decides whether this gauge fits the site. Installation is limited to vertical posts or similar upright surfaces where the stake can be secured. If the location has no suitable post or requires ground insertion without a post, a different mounting style is required.
