Keeping an Eye on the Weather!

Pupils in the Senior Classes were out and about measuring the rainfall and the wind speed recently. They used a rain gauge to measure rainfall and an anemometer to measure wind speed. They also measured the cloud cover in oktas and checked which direction the wind was coming from using a wind vane.
