Wind Speed:
The wind speed of an area is measured by using a wind meter (as shown in the picture to the left).
To use this meter, you must turn on the device and wait for the screen to display a clear reading of zero.
After which this has happened, the student must raise the meter into the air whilst holding down the large middle button. The meter will begin to show numbers, and after approximately a minute, an average wind speed will be presented. This is the number that you need to record.
The wind speed average range was 0-2.0 m/s. The speed recorded was in fact 0.8 m/s, evidently well within the range

Humidity:
Humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air. The piece of equipment used for this is quite simply both a wet and a dry bulb thermometer (also known as a hydrometer).
To use this piece of apparatus, you must first adjust the thermometer so it is eye level. Then a reading needs to be taken from the left side (dry bulb) and the right side (wet bulb). Once the numbers have been collected, students are required to subtract the wet bulb reading from the dry bulb.
Using the chart provided, the original dry bulb amount is needed to be located, moving your finger across the column until the difference between the two readings is found. The number is then to be recorded as a percentage.
The humidity reading that was found was 71%, also within the average range of 60-90%
