Will it be rainy, snowy, cloudy, or clear? Watch with delight as the crystals change shape based on weather conditions.

Instructions

The storm glass is a fascinating and unique device. We recommend priming your storm glass before use. To do this, place it in a warm room until the crystals dissolve. After you’ve primed your storm glass, it is ready to predict the weather! For best results, place it in an area closer to the elements such as near a window or in an enclosed porch or sun room.

• If the liquid in the glass is clear, the weather will be bright and clear.
• If the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be cloudy as well, perhaps with precipitation.
• If there are small dots in the liquid, humid or foggy weather can be expected.
• A cloudy glass with small stars indicates thunderstorms.
• If the liquid contains small stars on sunny winter days, then snow is coming.
• If there are large flakes throughout the liquid, it will be overcast in temperate seasons or snowy in the winter.
• If there are crystals at the bottom, this indicates frost.
• If there are threads near the top, it will be windy.
