[04:02.52]Students in many countries collect information about the weather.
[04:08.37]They do this to learn more about science.
[04:12.94]Every day,they measure the temperature of the air
[04:18.80](1)and the speed (2) and the direction (3) of the wind.
[04:23.55]They also measure how much cloud (4) there is
[04:27.99]and how many centimetres of rain(5) have fallen.
[04:32.64]When they have finished these tests,
[04:36.61]the students send their information (6) by e-mail to scientists.
[04:42.57]Scientists use this information to understand the world's weather better.
