We have tools to measure weather. Some measure rain. Others measure temperature. Have you seen any of these tools?
Anemometer
This tool (above) measures wind speed. Cups catch the wind. This turns a dial. The dial shows wind speed.
Barometer
This tool measures air pressure. Rising pressure means dry air. Falling air pressure means rain.
Thermometer
This tool measures temperature. A high temperature is hot. A low temperature is cold.
Rain Gauge
This tool measures rainfall. Rain collects in the gauge. That tells you how much has fallen.
