Have a rain gauge? Please consider reporting your conditions to us. Even if you do not own a rain gauge we would still value a comment in our forums about any weather event. An example might be “Heavy downpour that lasted 10 minutes at 10:00am here in North La Quinta” or “Road flooding occurring at Sunrise and Ramon in Palm Springs”

If you are interested in purchasing a rain gauge here’s a link to one that DesertWeather recommends that records rain to 0.01 of an inch (stay away from some that record in 0.04 increments):

This is the gauge DesertWeather.com recommends for only $21.95:
