How much rain did you collect in your rain gauge?  I measured 3 centimeters of rain in mine and that was just for 2 days.  What about the temperature where you live?  Has it been hot?  Has it been cold?  I found some interesting sites so that you can learn a lot more about the weather.  In a later kit I will even teach you all about tornadoes and hurricanes!
