 cottensd says: This is cool. Count the number of cricket chirps for 15 seconds, put it into the convertor, and find the approximate outdoor temperature. No internet access? Count for 15 seconds and add 37. Totally cool cottensd. I grew up listening to crickets (in Australia) but had no idea about this. More from wikipedia.. Crickets chirp at different rates depending both on their species and the temperature of their environment. Most species chirp at higher rates the higher the temperature is (approx. 60 chirps a minute at 13ºC in one common species; each species has its own rate). The relationship between temperature and the rate of chirping is known as Dolbear's Law. You wish Clipette. That comment was supposed to be from me.  Aww. I was hoping for Cricket (sport)  |
