Cricket Chirps Tell the Temperature

 

How to find the temperature outside.

For degrees Fahrenheit:

First start counting the chirps of the crickets for 14 seconds.

Add 40 to get temperature.

Example: 20 chirps + 40 = 60° F

 

For degrees Celsius:

Count number of chirps in 25 seconds, divide by 3, then add 4 to get temperature.

Example: ( 39 chirps / 3 ) + 4 = 17° C
