How can I tell if my rain gauge is accurate?

Tip: To have accurate results, ensure that all the water in the container is poured into the rain gauge before the test is complete. As the water flows into the rain gauge, the percentage error decreases until the measured value is the same as the expected rainfall. At that point, the error percentage is 0.00.
