Product Description
The Tendency Barometer Storm Glass combines two traditional weather instruments with a hygrometer for a truly unique way to keep track of the weather.

A tendency barometer, an Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass and a hygrometer are mounted on a brass colored aluminum faceplate for a dazzling effect. Both attractive and functional, this weather instrument will be perfect in any living space. It measures 20" tall and 6.7" wide.
The thermometer measures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit and the barometer measures in millibars/ hPa. An absolutely beautiful presentation piece that will last for generations.
How to Read the Tendency Barometer
The Tendency Barometer consists of two liquid filled tubes mounted side by side, one is an open ended U-shape tube filled with non-mercury red fluid, and the other is a closed thermometer tube with blue fluid.
When the red and blue fluid are at the same level, this means the weather is changing.
When the red fluid level is lower than the blue fluid, the weather conditions will be fair (rising air pressure pushes the red fluid down in the tube).
When the red fluid is higher than the blue fluid, the weather condition will be stormy (falling air pressure allows the red fluid to move up the tube).

Awesome!
By T. Griffith
A rather remarkable piece of equipment. Though it's quite attractive it's also completely functional and provides entirely accurate data. It's the real thing and clearly intended for those of us who wouldn't even consider hanging a replica rifle over our fireplace. It comes with a calibration kit and very simple instructions for adjusting the barometer to local elevation and calibration of the hygrometer. The storm glass is quite fascinating. It's larger than it appears in the photo and very easy to examine crystal behavior. It's been pretty rainy here of late and I noticed that within hours of arrival the storm glass became quite cloudy with suspended crystals near the top with sparkles suspended below. Pretty neat! Glad I spent the money for it, hung it in my living room and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. The only drawback.... I've spent quite a bit of time since it arrived, standing, facing the wall, staring at it. Wife doesn't seem to mind though.

By John Blommers
A beautiful weather instrument and a constant conversation piece in our living room.I bought this for my husband for our 31st Wedding Anniversary as a surprise and unexpected gift. It took me a few days mulling over the cost, but it has been well worth it, and the quality is exquisite. It was SO much fun it to see the smile on his face, and the hours we have enjoy together watching this beautiful weather instrument was well worth every cent. Great Shipping Service as well.

Disappointed with the storm glass
By S. Martin
The instrument itself is beautiful. I was disappointed to learn that the storm glass is not really functional, it takes a lot away from the overall purchase.
