The mysteries of the Australian waterfront may be lost on our European friends, however I do remember we could get a container of coffee from Lae (PNG) to Hamburg quicker than from Lae to Melbourne, due to the time the container sat at the dock, 4 hours in Rotterdam and 4 weeks in Australia, but I digress from weather, the accuracy of a rain gauge is a function of the cross sectional area of the collector and how well it stops "splashout" etc.rather than the tipping bucket volume. The sensor may be OK to tell you if it is raining or damp but I would think not much else.
