It would be handy to be able to have adetectorthat can give an audible
signal when it starts torain.

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 ofrain, stable enough not to
corrode in a couple of weeks.

Isn't a Scuba kit supposed to be wet? and how do hang a boat on the washing
line?- Hide quoted text -

when in use yes :-)

afterwards you need it to dry ... as to boat, typically covers left
off it trying to dry it out, usually gets close to dry ... then it
rains, and before I notice ... 'tis all wet again.
