  • Can leeches predict the weather?

    Surprisingly…yes, they might! In the 1800s, doctors and scientists noticed that leeches get more active when storms are approaching. In fact, a British doctor even created a “leech barometer,” where he kept dozens of leeches in jars to observe their behavior. The leeches would wriggle more intensely when atmospheric pressure dropped, which often signals rain or storms on the way. So, leeches might be nature’s tiniest forecasters!
