Amazing Weather Ball
 (Select Quantity Below)
|
Made from hand-blown glass
The earliest barometers were simple glass bulbs with a spout that helped ancient seaman predict storms. Water moving up the spout means low pressure with potentially stormy conditions, while high pressure pushes the water down to the bottom of the spout. This style of barometer is just as effective today, and provides a decorative method for predicting weather via changes in air pressure.
When good weather approaches, the liquid in the ball is pushed down the spout. When bad weather is on the way, the liquid rises. If liquid spills out the top, it's time to run to high ground!
Size: 7.5"h.

I am a victim or hurricane Katrina. I bought this as a present and was seeing if it worked. I saw the fluid start to drip out the top before the hurricane. I had read the description and I had seen the weather reports so I called my friends to see if I could come over. I went to my friends house when the hurricane started. Later I learned my house had been destroyed. This little object may have saved my life. Read More Reviews |
