Skull storm glass weather station

The skull-shaped storm glass with beech wood base is a perfect gift for science fans and 'cranio-maniacs'. The contemporary interpretation of the traditional chemical weather glass makes a breathtaking desk sculpture Sherlock Holmes would have liked.
Nowadays, 'FitzRoy's Storm Barometer' is more of a charming curiosity than an accurate weather station. However, as late as the 18th century, seafarers often used it to provide essential predictions of weather changes. Admiral Robert FitzRoy significantly promoted it. During his voyage as the meteorologist of Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle, Fitzroy used it as a means to forecast upcoming storms.
This historical instrument reacts to atmospheric variations. It works both indoors and outdoors. It is best displayed on a desk, mantelpiece, shelf or windowsill, especially with light shining through from behind.

How to predict the weather

  • Clear liquid: Bright and clear weather
  • Cloudy liquid: Cloudy, possible precipitation, thunderstorms & rain
  • Small dots in the liquid: Expect humid or foggy weather

  • Threads of crystals near the top: Windy weather.
