I hooked one onto my porch railing where I can see it from the kitchen window. Unobstructed overhead, no gutters or roof overflow. It seems quite accurate- for comparison I look at the Weather Underground website- someone only 1/4 mile from me has a weather station including a rain gauge so the info is constantly uploaded onto the website. If I did not have it, at this point I might not buy one as I can get the info off of Weather Underground.
