Predicting weather by singing cricket better than Hydrometeorological Center

The Japanese used to catch crickets and bring them into the yard. Crickets to guard the house instead of the dog. The owners of the house made special small houses for pets, they got used to the shelter and sang every night. To the singing of the cricket, the owners fell asleep. When a stranger approached the house, the cricket fell silent. From the silence, the Japanese woke up and went out to meet uninvited guests.



There's a lot to say about crickets. I'll talk about them, too. But first I want to teach you how to tell the weather by singing crickets. It is scientifically proven that crickets can be used as a thermometer and predict weather without weather forecasters.



In the late nineteenth century, physicist Amos Dolber invented the formula. According to this formula, he determined the air temperature by the chirping of crickets. The Dolber Act Other scientists have proven themselves experimentally. They confirmed that crickets are a natural thermometer.

So, at 60 (15 degrees Celsius) degrees Fahrenheit, the crickets sounded 80 times a minute. At 70 degrees (21 degrees Celsius), they rattled 120 times per minute. And when the air temperature dropped to 50 (10 degrees Celsius) degrees Fahrenheit, the crickets lazily emitted 40 signals per minute.



Biologists and entomologists approved the formula. In 1948, it was called the Dolber Act. To determine the temperature of the air at the moment, count how many times the crickets will sound in 15 seconds. Then add 37 to that number. We'll get Fahrenheit air temperature. To convert the temperature to Celsius, simply subtract from the original number 32 and divide by 1.8.

The reason why you do not need to destroy crickets in the garden: crickets catch garden pests. You have to be able to distinguish them from locusts. Pay attention to the mustache and the chirping machine. Crickets have mustaches as long as the body, and they chirp with the base of the wings. The locust usually has a short mustache and rattles with its hind legs. The sound of a cricket is one of the most pleasant sounds of nature, it helps to sleep at night. Therefore, many people often look for crickets on the Internet and set the melody on the ringtone. Do you like listening to cricket singing?
