Also known as a udometer is an It is very simple to use a rain gauge, you place instrument that gathers and it in the exterior where it will collect the rain, you measures the amount of liquid let it there for the set period of time that you Rain Gauge precipitation over a set period of want (a week, a month, a rainfall, etc.) and at time. Used by meteorologists and the end of that period, you check how much rain hydrologists. was collect it and you note it down.

Also known as a Six’s Thermometer, it is a thermometer This is possibly the most simple to use, you Maximum- that can measure the maximum and only place it in the spot where you wish to make Minimum minimum temperatures of a place in the readings, and wait for it to show the results, Thermometer a day. Used to measure extreme then take them and note them down. temps.

Nowadays, there are various electronic hygrometers which after taking the reading only note it down and you just have to read it, but in Hygrometer These are instruments that are the case of the hair tension ones, instructions (Wet and dry used to measure general humidity in are as follows: You must check constantly the bulb therometer) a certain place. hair or wool placed in it, if it is straight, then humidity is high, if not, then it is low, this is how it is measured.

First, you need to fill a small container (this is attached to the Psychrometer), fill it with water This can also be called a “sling and wait for the cloth of one of the thermometers psychrometer”, and it is an to become damp. Then, take the instrument and instrument to measure the humidity Whirling swing it from 30 to 50 times over your head, you and temperature of the air in a Psychrometer take the readings of the thermometers after this certain spot. It works thanks to two and you repeat until the results are consistent. separate thermometers, one dry, the The final part is to calculate the wet bulb- other with moist. depression, and then calculate the relative humidity with this previous data.

To use a Barometer you need to first place it in a spot with no radical changes (no direct sunlight for example), then, you set the movable This instrument is used to measure hand according to the set reading (you can find Barometer atmospheric pressure, and it can this in the internet), after this, you let it there and work with air, water or mercury. see if the other hand changes, if it increases, weather should be good, if not, then it should be expected to be bad.

There are various types of anemometers nowadays, but I will tell you how to use the This instrument is used to measure classic 4-cup one. To use this, you need a the wind speed (although some can stopwatch, and you need to see how many also measure wind pressure), and it Anemometer times does the special cup do a full turn in 1 is one of the most common min. You do this 3 times in a row and then divide instruments to be found in a weather by 3, getting the average. Then you do the station. calculation that 1 turn is approximately 1 mile per hour.

In order to use a wind vane (or take the lecture A wind vane or weather vane is an to be more specific), you only need to see where instrument that is placed at the top Wind Vane is the main arrow pointing at, this will indicate of high buildings and it is used to the wind direction according to the cardinal see the direction of the wind. points.
