Place an empty cylindrical container outside in an open area and check it after a rainfall or snowfall. Measure the level of water or snow with a ruler inside the container. Record the data, then empty the container. By adding all the measurements you will know how much rain or snow fell over a period of time. As you investigate weather reports, sometimes you will see annual rainfall statistics.
Annual rainfall is an area's precipitation measurements for the entire year.
