CoCoRaHS Maine kicked off in the Pine State on August 1, 2009.  Help us measure precipitation from Kittery Point to Aroostook County as we learn about this wonderful resource that falls from the sky. 

Join CoCoRaHS.


If you wish to notify the National Weather Service of severe weather in your area please file a severe weather report online at NWS Severe Weather Report.

Each observer will need:

  • Enthusiasm and desire to watch the weather.
  • Willingness and dedication to take regular daily precipitation measurements, preferably between 6-9 AM.
  • To participate in an online or group training session.
  • A manual 4-inch rain gauge, available at reasonable cost through a preferred online CoCoRaHS vendor.

How to Join?

Training Sessions

Training is required for all observers.  Initially, the best method for training will be to go through the online training presentations and videos.  We will occasionally have in person or online webinar training sessions in our area and will be listed below when scheduled.
