AcuRite Digital Rain Gauge with Wireless Self-Emptying Collector

Plan your day with confidence using accurate, real-time rainfall data — right from your own backyard. The AcuRite Digital Rain Gauge with a Wireless Self-Emptying Rain Collector provides reliable and precise rainfall measurements.

The bold, easy-to-read LCD screen shows daily rainfall totals and tracks rainfall history for a single event, the past day, or the last 7 days. It also includes two resettable cumulative totals for long-term tracking.

Built-in rain and flood alarms notify you when it starts raining or when conditions suggest potential flooding — perfect for managing outdoor plans or protecting your garden.

The outdoor sensor features a self-emptying rain cup that wirelessly transmits data to the display every 60 seconds. A built-in clock and calendar add extra convenience, and the display can be placed on a tabletop or mounted on a wall.

What Customer Say


  • Good gauge, works well

    I purchased this rain gauge and it has worked fine. I did modify the rain collector to use two external "D" batteries instead of the two "AA" cells it was designed for. This extended the run time for months between battery changes, and also extends the "low battery" operation time until the rain storm is over. The only problem I have had is hail damage, but that was fixed with some silicone adhesive and scrap plastic. Good unit, well designed.

  • Easy installation, indeed - accurate results

    I found the setup to be easy with the instructions provided. The unit appeared to be calibrated very close to reading from other stations in my area so did not go through the cal procedure. Nice display and features for recalling events as well as the cumulative results. Battery powered for both display and sensor means that I don't have to worry about power outages affecting my readings. Quality construction and materials. Thank you!
