The barometer was invented back in the 17th century for laboratory use, and since then has become a popular household item. This barometer is designed for indoor use, and ideally should be wall mounted.
There are three dials – one for temperature, one for humidity, and one for the all-important barometric pressure.
This barometer is shipped from us in safe transportation mode, and will arrive to you unset. This is so that the needle does not move in transit, and therefore become damaged. On arrival, the barometer needs to be manually set to your local air pressure, which you can find online from various resources. This process is very simple, and can is done by simply turning a screw on the back to make the needle move to the required position. Once the barometer is set, it is ready for use.
Increasing pressure indicates that the waether will be getting better with more warmer and dryer conditions.
Decreasing pressure indicates that the weather is set to worsen - with cloudy days and rainfall. Quick drops in pressure can signify that a storm is imminent in the next several hours.
An excellent instrument with clear and easy to read faces, although the barometer was a little diffucult to calibrate due to the extremely sensitive nature of the small adjustment screw on the reverse. I'm very pleased with the product which is lightweight and easy to mount on the wall. It is a handsome piece to own and assists with the monitoring and interpretation of weather conditions for anyone with an interest in meteorology and/or aviation. I am a pilot with 50 years of flying experience, so a huge thank you.
The barometer is a lovely design and, so far, has been quite accurate. The only down side was that the instructions took a bit of working out.
