A rain gauge is an instrument used to measure the precipitation in a determined amount of time (usually the depth of the precipitation, in millimeters). This is a little container that collects the water during a rain, and is useful to measure the amount of rainfall.

They are usually little bottles or cylinders that collect the water and had a graduated scale that permits a direct measure.
