CoCoRaHS Precipation Map
ValleWeather is proud to be a contributing member of CoCoRaHS - Community Collabrative Rain, Hail & Snow Network since 10-July-2025. The CoCoRaHS precipitation measurements are done using a 4-inch manual rain gauge. Our manual gauge measurements are made at 8:00am daily and reported to the CoCoRaHS website. The current reports for Santa Fe County are shown on the map below.
Since the automated rain reports on this site are from midnight and the CoCoRaHS gauge is from 8:00am, the daily rain reports may differ due to the differing times for measurement resets (automatic digital gauge: midnight, CoCoRaHS manual gauge: 8:00am).
Interactive Map
Below is a zoomable "interactive" map. NOTE: The map only includes data where the local time of observation is between 4:30am and 9:30am. If I do not enter data between those times, the station will not appear on the map.
Mouseover the stations to find Station NM-SF-230 - located near the "green" open space. There is a link at the top of the popup box to view Details (for the day) in a New Tab. There is also a link at the bottom of the popup box for the Data Explorer which also opens in a New Tab. In that tab, click on Obs Tables for a historical perpective or, alternatively, use this LINK to go directly to the historical tables.

About CoCoRaHS
CoCoRaHS is an acronym for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. CoCoRaHS is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow). By using low-cost measurement tools, stressing training and education, and utilizing an interactive website, their aim is to provide the highest quality data for natural resource, education and research applications. The CoCoRaHS network originated with the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University in 1998 thanks in part to the Fort Collins flood a year prior. In the years since, CoCoRaHS now includes thousands of volunteers nationwide.
The CoCoRaHS precipitation measurements are done using a 4-inch manual rain gauge. Because of the performance and accuracy of the 4" diameter high capacity manual precipitation gauge, the National Weather Service and its parent agency, NOAA, accept data from CoCoRaHS as comparable to their official instrumentation.
