This week there was a reasonable amount of rainfall. For the first time we recorded wind direction. To do this, we blew bubbles downards, and watched which direction the wind blew them in.
In site 1 we recorded 110mm of rainfall over the last week,exactly twice as much as last week. By experementing in different areas of the small maths garden, we deduced that there was no wind direction, likely because the area is enclosed.
In site 2 we only recorded 5mm of rainfall. However, the rain gauge had been knocked over, most likely by an animal. We recorded an Easterly wind.
Finally, in site 3, we recorded 110mm of rainfall. This cannot be compared to last week's results, as last week the gauge had been knocked over. Here we recorded a southernly wind.
Overall we had around twice as much rainfall as last week, however one of our gauges had been knocked over, affecting our results. Precipitation was equal in both sites 1 and 3.
This week we also recorded the cloud types, recording both Cumulus clouds and Cirrus clouds
