Step back in time and be amazed by the fascinating Storm glass weather predictor!
The Storm Glass was developed by the captain of the HMS Beagle, Admiral Robert FitzRoy whilst on his famous 1831-36 circumnavigation voyage with the great naturalist Charles Darwin. Storm glasses are sealed glass tubes containing a supersaturated mixture of chemicals. Under changing weather conditions and temperature, the chemicals produce crystals in strange, fascinating shapes.
FitzRoy carefully documented how the storm glass would predict the weather:
If the liquid in the glass is clear, the weather will be bright and clear If the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be cloudy as well, perhaps with precipitation If there are small dots in the liquid, humid or foggy weather can be expected A cloudy glass with small stars indicates thunderstorms If the liquid contains small stars on sunny winter days, then snow is coming If there are large flakes throughout the liquid, it will be overcast in temperate seasons or snowy in the winter If there are crystals at the bottom, this indicates frost If there are threads near the top, it will be windy
