Weems and Plath Chrome Stormglass ES550102
The Weems and Plath Stormglass Weather Forecaster uses a concept that has been in existence since 1750.
This weather predictor is a thing of mystery and famously Admiral Fitzroy, the renowned sailor and meteorologist, used the Stormglass throughout his life but most notably aboard the HMS Beagle during his historic voyage with Charles Darwin in the 1830's.
Well over 250 years later, the science behind how the Stormglass Weather Forecaster works is still unexplained but it is believed that it has to do with the electromagnetic changes caused by weather and sun storms.
The condition of the liquid inside the glass indicates differences in the future weather. If the liquid is clear, the weather will be fair and dry. If the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be cloudy and possibly rainy. If there are small fern-like crystals building up, the weather will be cold and stormy. When the fern-like crystals start to disappear, the weather will be warmer. Falling crystals indicate frost.
This sealed glass chamber holding the crystals is encapsulated in a beautifully crafted brass cylinder. It can be displayed free-standing or mounted to a boat bulkhead or wall using an optional mounting bracket (not included). The Stormglass is available in two finishes, polished and lacquered or chrome plated brass.
The Weems and Plath Stormglass Weather Forecaster will give the best readings when positioned in a cool place just inside a north facing window or on a boat. It is effective up to two days in advance and is remarkably good at predicting extreme weather conditions such as storms as well as fair, dry weather.
