How to accurately predict the temperature

[sneetchbeach]

Interesting but too much camera shake....again.

[iwillsurvive25]

it worked with the birds but mabee it waz a coincidence

[LaoSoftware]

There are no crickets chirping in my area. Can I listen to the birds chirping instead?

[iwillsurvive25]

mabee this waz a coincidence but i listend to the birds instead and it waz 1 digree of,it waz acurate

If I don't hear any crickets is it correct to assume it's approx 37degrees?

[januk36]

I froze to death while searching for crickets in antarctica.

[DonBrodka1]

It's true. Look up Dolbear's law on wikipedia.

good tip :)

[cougarbahia]

this is gr8 way tell the temp. did u say count how many ___________what? beeps? chirps? ur a smart lady thx karen

[Hippoman141]

It's 14 seconds, not 15

[maddawgzzzz]

what is its 36 degress outside

[FixedByDoc]

it depends on what type of cricket it is and where you are located for this to work. each type of cricket chirps at a different rate than others. if you hear one cricket and know what that particular cricket is and dont confuse his/her chirp with someone elses then perhaps it could give an estimate. but to just say any ole cricket any place is incorrect. wife has a degree in zoology and is an expert in animals and insects...

[jjed75]

april fool !!!!

Nice one...

[majotnf]

what about Celsius

[matt0o]

So, if it's say 80 degrees F..... 80 - 37 = 43

That cricket is gonna chirp 43 times in 15 seconds?

2.86 chirps per second.. That cricket is on crack!

[FixedByDoc]

@matt0o lol

[MindBullets2142]

@whateverujoke good point

[itzLeo]

If it is off a few, why not add 34 instead :-)

[silverton7777]

laddy come with me to fairbanks alaska and will see your yuppy survival methods in action. 45 below and before the nights over youll climb into my bag.

[bugsy1491]

Look up 'Dolbear's Law' on wikipedia or something (directed at readers of the comments section)

Each species of crickets chirps at a different rate with respect to the temperature

This works for the U.S but not necessarily for everyone, do your research and figure out how to modify this rule (Cricket chirps in 15sec + 37 = temp in F) to suit your situation

[1twilight9]

haha ive got a thermometer. chirp away you little grass hoping freaks!!!

[MrBadassButch]

and if theres no crickets?

[CaptainLutra]

@MrBadassButch means its -273,15°C :P

[TheChosenNoobling]

@whateverujoke oh then idk man/woman lol

[TheChosenNoobling]

@whateverujoke if it below that i dont think your going to hear crickets so it 0+37= under 37 degrees aka cold

[paintballhead03]

Well i live in florida,USA and i here crickets every night! thanks for that tip, ima see if it works tonight

[ODgr33n]

Crickets ... yum!

[andybean55555]

Does this actually work or am I right in seeing that this video was suspiciously close to April the 1st

[PeakSurvival]

@andybean55555 Definatley does work GOOGLE it

[andybean55555]

Does this actually work or am I right in seeing this video was suspiciously close to April the 1st :s

[maciejgrebowicz]

hmmmm.

[Trailtraveller]

got to find some cricks....hmmm still too cold overhere.

[zippy308]

I need to pay attention more. Normally I am so destracted by the crickets starting and stopping that I did not even notice the tempeture fluctuating. Nature is truely amazing.

[jtdrummer2112]

Not sure I believe that one

[FatDaddy4Fun]

I wonder if this works inside or out.

[enjoythewildUSA]

Are you serious? Now this I HAVE to try!

[YochananT]

Thanks for the great tip, have to test it out sometime.

[tabcan]

That's cool. Thanks.

By the way, you're cute. But I guess that's not news.

[gasdorf]

churp churp churp ?

[toshibavoodoo]

gratzz

[BrokenAeroVT]

How many degrees Crickets is that?

[Fidokrab]

Wow that's really odd. I never knew crickets can be use as thermometers.

[JimboJitsu]

lol, cute!

[MrGETitGOTit]

WOW!!Thats too cool!!

[DEMCAD]

That is so cool.

[johnny102marvin]

This is good to know, when the electrical infrastructure is destroyed by an Apollo class asteroid when it hits the earth....woops...what if there are no crickets left.  :-)

[05MagnumSXT]

OK here's a request. You've done time till sunset and temperature. How about distance. I've never been able to judge how far 100 yards is.

Keep up the good work.
