(Accurite  Thermometer)

At 8-3/8 inches tall (not including the integral mounting extension), the Acu-Rite 00850 Easy Read Magnifying Rain Gauge is larger than many other gauges currently being offered. It measures up to 5 inches of rain and is graduated in tenths of an inch . The scale on the 00850 is blue with silver-gray numbers and hash marks. The numbers 1 through 5 are 1/2 inch tall, and the digits on the 1/2-inch indicators between the whole numbers are about 1/4 inch tall. When water fills the gauge, the numbers are magnified by more that 35%, making the bold whole numbers appear to be almost 7/10 inch tall.
