"CoCoRaHS" (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow network) is a fun and easy way to keep track of how much rain and snow falls at your home, place of business, or school. Daily reports are submitted via the CoCoRaHS app or website and shared with the National Weather Service, emergency management, and anyone else who is interested. All you need is this simple plastic rain gauge and a couple of minutes each morning to read the gauge and submit your report. You can see all the reports in your area via the CoCoRaHS map. Also, the National Weather Service office in Louisville includes CoCoRaHS reports when constructing area precipitation maps (like this one).

It's a great way to get kids interested in science!

Since 2007, hundreds of people in southern Indiana and central Kentucky have submitted thousands of daily rainfall and snowfall reports. For more information on how to join them, see the CoCoRaHS website or send us an email at nws.louisville@noaa.gov. Then make your resolution to read your rain gauge as often as possible in 2024!
