Storm Glass: A Weather Forecasting Tool from the 17th Century

Storm glass, also known as weather forecast bottles, is a device invented by navigators in the 17th century to predict weather changes and the onset of storms. Although this invention was quite remarkable, the inventors themselves were not widely known to the general public at the time.

It was not until 1860 that the equipment gained popularity, thanks to the efforts of the then British Navy Admiral, Robert FitzRoy (Director of the British Meteorological Agency), who actively promoted its use.

The composition of the storm glass varies, but these devices are often of limited value for accurate weather forecasting. While they may not match the precision of today's advanced electronic forecasts and weather stations, storm glasses remain a beautifully decorated, ancient weather prediction tool. Modern research has shown that temperature changes are a key factor in the growth of the crystals within the glass.

Whether used as a decoration, a conversation piece, or a thoughtful gift, the storm glass is a testament to the ingenuity of 17th-century navigators and the enduring allure of natural weather phenomena.
