Cricket as a Thermometer

Male crickets rub their wings together to attract females. You can measure the air temperature to within a few degrees by listening to a chirping cricket and applying a simple mathematical formula. This formula is called Dolbear's Law and was formulated by Amos Dolbear in 1897.

Here's how it works:

1. Count the number of times that the cricket chirps in 14 seconds.
2. Add 40 to this number. This will be the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Note: Different species of crickets respond differently to the air temperature and will use slightly different calculations. This formula is based upon an average of common cricket species.

URBAN you say?

An urban area is an area with an increased density of human-created structures in comparison to the areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlet.


Fact # 432

Crickets are said to foretell good luck. Their songs are said to bring blessings to all that are lucky enough to hear them.

For the love of the white tee...

I ask you, is there anything better than a tee?
