I found this tidbit in the Farmer's Almanac. If you live where crickets chirp in the summer I thought you might find it interesting! Who would have thought you could tell the temperature by them?
To convert cricket chirps to degrees Fahrenheit, count number of chirps in 14 seconds then add 40 to get temperature.
Example: 30 chirps + 40 = 70° F
To convert cricket chirps to degrees Celsius, count number of chirps in 25 seconds, divide by 3, then add 4 to get temperature.
Example: 48 chirps /(divided by) 3 + 4 = 20° C
