Many of you have rain gauges (CoCoRaHS or otherwise), work for the National Weather Service or other agencies, or just love watching the weather. Today is your day! We celebrate everyone who observes the weather and reports it via work or citizen science. I have been watching the weather since a tornado came two blocks from my house in Grand Rapids, MI, when I was in the 3rd grade and have watched ever since. You can read more here. If you want to join an official group as an amateur observer, then I suggest joining CoCoRaHS, purchasing an appropriate gauge, and becoming a citizen scientist. Thanks to everyone who is a weather observer today and every day!
