## Overview

The Glassic Gifts® Hanging Goethe Weather Ball Barometer is a hand-blown glass instrument that visually tracks barometric pressure changes through liquid level shifts, offering an elegant, non-digital way to anticipate weather changes. It includes a metal hanging hook and requires filling with distilled water, allowing for personalized color customization. Ideal for weather enthusiasts and those sensitive to atmospheric changes, it combines functional accuracy with artisanal design.

## Description

What is a Goethe Weather Ball Barometer and how do I read it? This device predicts barometric weather changes by observing the rise and fall of liquid within the spout of a vented glass vessel. A low water level in the spout suggests “high pressure”, representing fair weather. A high water level in the spout suggests “low pressure” and forecasts poor weather conditions. While the storm glass will not indicate exact barometric pressure in numerical values, it is still regarded as an accurate monitor of air pressure changes. PLEASE NOTE: the stated height of 5” is only an approximation. This item is finished with a hand process that creates a varying finished height, which may be slightly higher or shorter than the stated height. How do I set it up? This device arrives empty and you must fill it with distilled water. We suggest using food coloring to change the color of the water. It comes with a small hose and syringe. Pull the hose out of packaging and stretch it to make it straight. Once you have straightened it as best as possible, you have to snake it down the neck of the glass. It is tricky but the only way to fill it! Once the hose is inside the main body, turn it upside down and use the syringe to fill it. Don't take the hose out, just disconnect the syringe from the hose. Fill it a little less than halfway. If you fail to get results you may have not put the right amount of liquid in it.

Review: If you have Health Problems that react to the Barometer, this is for YOU - Barometer apps were often in disagreement when I tried to use them to track weather, but this little old timey but accurate device relies on the direct air pressure. It is always responding directly to local conditions. I've learned to gauge what level in the glass precedes physical problems from my illness and what reading means I should have extra energy to tackle the day! I can read this thing at a glance from across a room and know when to take medication so that inflammatory pain doesn't get a chance to knock me down! (Oversimplified: Lower pressure means my nerves have a chance to expand and inflame further. Think how a marshmallow goes POOF in a vacuum chamber. Like that, but more subtle... and less tasty.) If you or someone you love has a condition that flares up when a storm rolls in, this thing is EXCELLENT to have. It takes a little fiddling to set it up but the directions are very neat and clear. Once set up, it's no maintenance so far.
Review: Filling tube didn't work. - Pretty but filling it was a journey. The tube they provided to go into the device didn't actually fit inside! and the top of the plastic tube that attaches to the syringe for filling wasn't actually open so I had to jab a hole with a needle to open it and allow the liquid to pass through.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Syringe included, yay!
*by A***R on November 26, 2022*

Bought to replace an old swan I had bought from a local glass blower who had once set up shop in a nearby mall. It hangs near the exit so we know why we have headaches, or feel lethargic, before heading out for the day. Also, I'm happy to say that it came with a syringe to fill it; I had bought one not knowing this as it wasn't meantioned.
