Weather Along the Sensory Path

A school garden has a sensory path where visitors notice different textures, colors, and smells. The garden club wants to plan visits during different seasons. Before choosing dates, the club studies weather records collected beside the path. These records come from the same school garden, not from different towns.

For three years, students recorded weather on 20 school days in each season. They used a thermometer at the same spot at two o’clock each afternoon. They also marked whether rain fell during each observation day. A rainy day counted once, even if rain fell several times. The table shows rainy days out of the 20 days observed.

A weather helper combined the afternoon temperature readings to find an average for each season. An average summarizes many readings with one number. The graph shows these averages in degrees Fahrenheit, written °F. Individual days could be warmer or cooler than the average. The club will use the records to look for patterns, then check a current forecast before each visit.
