Detailed explanation-1: -Humidity is measured by a hydrometer. The speed and direction of wind are measured using an instrument known as an anemometer. Meteorologists measure the rainfall using a ‘Rain gauge’. It is also called Udometer or Pulviometer or Ombrometer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Instruments for measuring precipitation include rain gauges and snow gauges, and various types are manufactured according to the purpose at hand. Rain gauges are discussed in this chapter. Rain gauges are classified into recording and non-recording types.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the relative density (or specific gravity) of liquids that is, the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water.
