Why do frogs croak more before a storm?

Siskin

Noises all become louder and more vibrant just before rain because the sound is reflected and magnified by the low clouds. The croaking of frogs will echo loudly if rain is imminent. Dec 06 02, 10:24 PM

Actually, a storm is preceded by humid air. Frogs have to keep their skins wet to be comfortable, and moist air allows them to stay out of the water and croak longer. Dec 07 02, 5:20 AM

ACTUALY... the frogs DO croak more before a storm because it means it is going to rain and they ponds will fill more and there will be more ponds made etc... and so they croak to atract their mates so because now that there is more water there is more oxygen in the water and more space for their little tadpoles to develop in. in my animal science class, the teacher had a treefrog and before a storm the little frog would croak Dec 11 02, 8:32 PM
