That's about the same as a heavy day of rain. On a 10 m by 10 m garden that is about 2,500 liters of water.

What it means

How much water is that?

Rain gauges measure depth on level ground. Wind, slope and nearby trees all change what a gauge actually catches.

The math

How to convert mm to L/m²

To convert millimeters to liters per square meter, multiply by 1.

Example: 25 mm × 1 = 25 L/m².

In the other direction, 1 L/m² = 1 mm.
