AlphaPLUS Home Weather Predicting Original Storm Glass | Water Drop Barometer Thermometer | Weather Forecaster | Admiral Robert Fitzroy HMS Beagle | Fitzroys Stormglass | Globe Predictor Gift

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

    The Storm Glass, a pioneering scientific weather station utilizing principles from the thermometer, barometer and hygrometer.
