Powering precision, compliance and climate confidence.
Rain gauge buyer’s guide.

Buyer's Guide: WMO-compliant rain gauges for accurate monitoring, regulatory confidence and climate insight.
Get the knowledge you need to make a smart, compliant and future-ready rainfall monitoring investment.
This guide breaks down what it really means for a rain gauge to meet the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards—and why that matters for your procurement, reporting and climate resilience goals.

What you’ll learn
- What makes a rain gauge WMO-compliant (and what doesn’t)
- Why accuracy matters for both regulatory use and long-term climate trends
- How to reduce third-party reliance with a fully integrated KISTERS solution (rain gauge + datalogger + Hydrotel or KISTERS datasphere)
- The difference between WMO and non-WMO specifications
- Procurement checklist to assess integration-readiness
Whether you’re planning ahead or spending before EOFY, this guide helps you choose confidently.
