There are devices that measure rain by shaping every drop into the
same size and the Frequency of the drops coming off the bottom of
this plumb-bob looking device is proportional to the actual rainfall.
I know this because the chap who taught me to programme
microcontrollers was working on the controller for such a device
and I have found the units for sale on the web..cant remember
where though.
