Let us be precise: the frequency of cricket chirping is reliably correlated with the temperature in Fahrenheit—to be specific, the Fahrenheit temperature is approximately the number of chirps in 13 seconds plus 40 - and therefore a particular frequency of cricket chirping means a particular temperature.
The cricket chirping itself usually means other things.
