This traditional weather station is both a work of art and an instrument at home in any fine study, library, office or upscale restaurant * The rich, wood framed classic weather station measures temperature, barometric pressure (liquid), humidity (-percent) with analog clock * The concept that "decreasing atmospheric pressure predicts stormy weather" was postulated by Lucien Vidie-and it"s the basis for a weather prediction device called a storm glass or liquid barometer * A narrow spout connects to the body below the water level and rises above the water level, where it is open to the atmosphere * When the air pressure is lower than it was at the time the body was sealed, the water level in the spout will rise above the water level
