Provided herein is technology relating to weather sensors and particularly, but not exclusively, to devices, methods, and systems related to collecting weather data by measuring bending and compression stresses in a weather sensor device.

Mechanical strain-based weather sensor

Provided herein is technology relating to measuring weather data and particularly, but not exclusively, to apparatuses, methods, and systems for sensing hydrometeors (e.g., rain) and measuring hydrometeor characteristics (e.g., volume, rate, size distribution, etc.).

Rain sensor

Weather sensors and particularly collect weather data by measuring bending and compression stresses in a weather sensor device. The sensors are based upon the principle of bending stresses and the linear variation of stress between the maximum and minimum point. The sensors model deformation of a hollow shaft or rod. The sensors encompass measuring compression, bending, and/or torsional stresses on other cross-sectional shapes using the appropriate relationship for the particular cross-section that finds use in the technology.
