Rain Monitoring FAQs

Answers to common questions about commercial rainfall and precipitation monitoring. Use these as a starting point and we can tailor a solution around your site and operations.

How does a commercial rain monitoring system work?

A commercial rain monitoring system uses precision rain gauges to measure both rainfall intensity and total accumulation. These sensors collect real-time data and transmit it to local displays or a cloud platform, where teams can view live conditions, receive automated alerts and access historic rainfall records. This insight helps organisations manage risk, protect operations and plan responses to changing weather.

Which sites benefit most from rainfall monitoring?

Rainfall monitoring is valuable wherever wet weather affects safety, compliance or operational performance. Key sectors include flood risk and catchment management, water authorities, waste and recycling facilities, industrial and manufacturing sites, and turf-based environments such as sports grounds and racecourses. Any site impacted by drainage, runoff, saturation or surface-water hazards benefits from accurate precipitation data.

Can the system integrate with our existing SCADA or control system?

Yes. Skyview’s rain monitoring systems are designed to integrate smoothly with a wide range of SCADA, PLC, BMS and industrial control platforms. Our sensors and data loggers support the same signal types these systems already use, including 0/4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 V, pulse outputs and industry-standard digital protocols such as Modbus RTU, SDI-12 and RS-485 ASCII.

We configure each installation so that rainfall, status and diagnostic data are presented in the format your control system requires. This allows your teams to use accurate precipitation insight directly within existing dashboards, alarms, automation logic or compliance reporting processes.

If you prefer a standalone setup, we can also supply cloud-connected monitoring with web dashboards, alerts and data export options via Skylink-Pro.

What does installation and commissioning involve?

Installation typically includes a site assessment, selection of optimal mounting positions, fitting of the rain gauges and supporting hardware, establishing power and communications, and full system configuration. Our engineers test and verify data accuracy before handover, ensuring the station is operating correctly from day one.

How is ongoing maintenance and calibration managed?

To maintain reliable measurements, rain gauges require periodic inspection, cleaning and calibration checks. Skyview offers structured maintenance agreements covering routine servicing, calibration and technical updates to ensure your system performs consistently and remains compliant with environmental and operational standards.

How do we get pricing for a rain monitoring solution?

Rain monitoring requirements vary from site to site, so pricing depends on the equipment needed, installation layout, communication options and how your teams plan to use the data. Because each environment has different risks and operational priorities, we build every quotation around your specific needs. To receive accurate pricing, complete the enquiry form on this page with a few details about your site.
