I find mine is extremely sensitive to being bumped. Beating the rug hung on a section of the pool fence with a couple of concreted posts between the rug and a WH1091 recorded about 50mm of rain in a couple of minutes. Various shocks now have it recording about 500mm more than the conventional gauge a meter or so away.

Taking the cover off and giving the insides a good spray of outdoor grade surface insecticide keeps the spiders away.
