Weather Wisdom You don't need a lot of sophisticated instruments to get a quick feel of a day's humidity or thunderstorm's distance from you.
Male crickets chirp faster when the temperature is increasing. To find the temperature, count the number of chirps in fifteen seconds and add 37. To determine a thunderstorm's distance, count the seconds between a flash of lightening and the roar of thunder; every five seconds equals one mile. |
