It would be handy to be able to have a detector that can give an
audible signal when it starts to rain.

I often have sports kit outside drying (Scuba, boat etc) and can't
rely on it staying dry long enough to dry kit.


I have found a link to one project

Anybody anything better .... the key would seem to be the sensor ...
large enough surface are to catch first few drops of rain, stable
enough not to corrode in a couple of weeks.



Send out the bald man?

Send out a tall man for early warning of rain.
