See [[Rain measurement]]
 
Officially the rain gauge should at a distance away of 2 times the height of each nearby object (buildings, trees, walls, solid fences etc.) and just high enough off ground level to avoid possibility of splashing..
 
You can experiment, but for amateurs, no more than a metre off the ground (or roof if mounted above it)* and at least a metre from any wall or solid fence whose height exceeds that of the sensor seems good enough.
