COCORAHS NOW IN THE BAHAMAS!
The saying "Rain doesn’t fall the same on all" really proves to be true. How often have you seen it rain in your neighborhood and a few blocks away not a drop has fallen.
CoCoRaHS, the largest provider of daily precipitation observations in the United States has been measuring precipitation in the Canadian Provinces, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands for the past several years. Now CoCoRaHS has observers throughout the family islands of the Bahamas! Join CoCoRaHS and help us measure rainfall whether it be on Andros, Exuma, Abaco or right in downtown Nassau. Click here to learn more about CoCoRaHS Bahamas.
Please take a moment to tell a friend or neighbor about this exciting grassroots effort of citizens measuring precipitation right in their own backyards. It's easy to join, takes only five minutes a day and is a fun way to learn about this wonderful natural resource that falls from the sky. Your observations continue to give scientists an ever clearer picture of where and how much precipitation falls throughout our communities.
ABOUT COCORAHS
CoCoRaHS (pronounced KO-ko-rozz) is a grassroots volunteer network of backyard weather observers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow) in their local communities. By using low-cost measurement tools, stressing training and education, and utilizing an interactive Web-site, our aim is to provide the highest quality data for natural resource, education and research applications. The only requirements to join are an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect and impact our lives.
Our Web page provides the ability for our observers to see their observations mapped out in "real time", as well as providing a wealth of information for our data users.

Complimentary training is provided to help you become an effective weather observer. Please check out your state page above (by clicking on your state) for a list of current training sessions in your local area. If none are taking place at the current time, watch our "Training Slide Shows" and read our on-line training information.
