Rainlog.org is a cooperative rainfall monitoring network for Arizona developed at the UA by SAHRA and Cooperative Extension. SRP has been a leading partner in supporting rainlog.org. Data collected through this network will be used for a variety of applications, from watershed management activities and weather reporting to hydrologic research and drought planning at local, county, and state levels.
All one needs to participate is a rain gauge and access to the Internet. We seek volunteers with rain gauges installed at their homes, who are willing to report daily total rainfall amounts through an online data entry form.
Why do we need more rainfall data? Official rain gauges in Arizona are few and far between. The large gaps in coverage are a particular problem where precipitation amounts are highly variable due to topography and seasonal weather patterns. This is especially true during the monsoon, when thunderstorms can produce heavy rainfall that is very localized.
You can use the interactive map to monitor rainfall levels across the state or in a specific city or region by day, month or specific date ranges.
