Stanchion mountable rain gauge assembly

A rain gauge assembly being configured to be removably coupled to a stanchion thereby facilitating said assembly to capture rain, said assembly comprising:

• a cap being configured to be positioned on a stanchion, said cap having a top wall and a peripheral wall extending downwardly therefrom, said peripheral wall having an outer surface;
• a set of first of tabs, each of said first tabs being coupled to and extending outwardly from said outer surface, said first tabs being positioned at an angle with respect to each other such that said first tabs forms a V shape;
• a set of second of tabs, each of said second tabs being coupled to and extending outwardly from said outer surface, said second tabs being positioned at an angle with respect to each other such that said second tabs forms a V shape;
• a first container being removably coupled to said cap wherein said first container is configured to capture rain for measuring rain fall, said first container having an outer wall and a top end, said top end being open, said first container being comprised of a translucent material, said outer wall having indicia being printed thereon, said indicia comprising a ruler for measuring the rain fall, said outer wall having a drain extending outwardly therefrom wherein said drain is configured to drain the rain, said drain being positioned proximate said top end;
• a pair of first couplers, each of said first couplers being coupled to and extending outwardly from said outer wall of said first container, each of said first couplers having an pair of lateral surfaces, a top surface and a bottom surface, said lateral surfaces on each of said first couplers sloping inwardly between said top and bottom surfaces, said pair of first couplers including an upper coupler and a lower coupler, each of said lateral surfaces of said lower coupler coextensively engaging selected ones of said first and second tabs such that said first container is removably retained on said cap;
• a second container being removably coupled to said cap wherein said second container is configured to capture rain for measuring rain fall, said second container having an outer wall and a top end, said top end being open, said second container being comprised of a translucent material, said outer wall of said second container having indicia being printed thereon, said indicia corresponding to said second container comprising a ruler for measuring the rain fall;
• a pair of second couplers, each of said second couplers being coupled to and extending outwardly from said outer wall of said second container, each of said second couplers having an pair of lateral surfaces, a top surface and a bottom surface, said lateral surfaces on each of said second couplers sloping inwardly between said top and bottom surfaces, said pair of second couplers including a top coupler and a bottom coupler, each of said lateral surfaces of said top coupler coextensively engaging selected ones of said first and second tabs such that said second container is removably retained on said cap having said second container being positioned lower than said first container;
• a tube being selectively and fluidly coupled between said first and second containers wherein said tube is configured direct the rain from said first container into said second container when said first container is filled, said tube having a first end and a second end, said first end being fluidly coupled to said drain on said first container;
• and
• a cap being removably coupled to said second container, said cap having a nipple thereon, said nipple being in fluid communication with an interior of said second container when said cap is positioned on said second container, said second end of said tube being fluidly coupled to said nipple wherein said nipple is configured to direct the rain from said tube into said first container.
