This Simple Device Can Predict Nine Different Weather Conditions

It’s a little early for Christmas lists but we do love anything that incorporates weather prediction with slick looking home decor….especially when its only $29.99. The storm glass is nothing new (Darwin had one when he was exploring the Galapagos) but they have somehow eluded modern day weather aficionados like myself. While keeping a NOAA.gov on bookmark is probably your most accurate bet for meteorological forecasting, it’s always fun to have have data points at home to work with…. 

“Storm Glasses are amazing devices that have been used by sailors to forecast storms for hundreds of years. It gained popularity back in 1859 after the Royal Charter Storm, and the Crown distributed Storm Glasses to many small fishing communities around the British Isles.”

The Storm Glass can forecast different weather conditions in the following manner:

  1. The liquid is clear: sunny and bright
  2. There are crystals at the bottom: thick air, frost
  3. The liquid is dim with small stars: thunderstorms
  4. There are large flakes: heavy air, overcast and snow during the winter
  5. Crystal threads form on the upper part of the liquid: windy weather
  6. There are small dots: fog, damp weather
  7. Flakes rise and remain at the top: wind in the upper air regions
  8. There are small stars: during a sunny winter day, it will snow in one or two days
  9. The higher the crystals rise, the colder it will be during winter
