How can ants predict weather changes?

When ants come out of their holes in groups, it indicates that heavy rain is coming. As the saying goes, "If ants swarm, it will not be sunny tomorrow."

The ants move and it rains!

Before it rains, due to the increase in humidity in the air, the amount of water absorbed by the soil increases. As a result, ant nests living in the soil become moist. Although ants live below the ground, they like dryness by nature. They have an organ on their body that senses moisture. Before a heavy rain, when the moisture in the air is too high, it feels that it is about to rain, and the ants will crawl out. , they will move to higher ground to avoid being flooded by rain.

Ants use moving to predict the weather. Once it is going to rain, they move one by one. If they move lower, it means the rain will be lighter; if they move higher, it means the rain will be heavier. When ants block the entrance to their nest, it indicates that there will be heavy rain. This is because ants are very sensitive to changes in air pressure and humidity. Once they feel that it is going to rain heavily, they will block the entrance of their nest to prevent rainwater from seeping in and ensure their life safety. When they move, sometimes they move from east to west, sometimes from west to east. This tells us that where they move from, it will rain! However, if there is only a drizzle, it will be difficult for the ants to observe.
