Weather Instruments

The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is a practical instrument that can also serve as art or d�cor in your favorite outdoor space. Inspired by Thomas Jefferson�s affinity for invention, this unique device uses a float and lever design to measure up to 5" of rain in 1/5" increments. As rain fills the vial of the Jeffersonian Rain Gauge, the red ball rises, consequently causing the steel arm to climb up the 5 inch scale. The glass container that measures the rain level will break by freezing in colder climates. Take care or have a staff that takes care.
