Can crickets predict weather?

WGNO) Crickets can't predict the weather, but their chirp can tell you the temperature. Crickets are ectotherms, meaning that their body temperature depends on the temperature of the environment that surrounds them. The number you get will be an approximation of the outside temperature. In 1897, a scientist named Amos Dolbear published an article entitled “The cricket as a thermometer”, which pointed out the correlation between ambient temperature and the speed at which crickets crow.
