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

Sure can - just go to the nearest cricket and ask Jiminey what the temperature is.

ROFL
Measure the pitch of snow squeaking under your feet this winter. There is a correlation there.

So if you know the. right formula and the type of cricket you hear chirping, you can estimate the. temperature by counting the chirps. .
