NOAA also states that different species of crickets have slightly different frequencies - so maybe vary this by region / let the user calculate/enter their own. Not sure how this holds up across the globe though.
In the future, this could use a microphone to automatically calculate the frequency.
When user taps button, start a counter - they keep tapping as long as they want, temperature will be re-estimated after each tap. If the user goes too long without tapping, then tapping again restarts the count.
In the future, this could use a microphone to automatically calculate the frequency (4800-5000 Hz).

Sounds odd, but Dolbear's law shows the current temperature can be estimated using the frequency of cricket chirps.
NOAA provides a few resources:
And LOC:
