The FitzRoy Storm Glass is made of high quality glass with encapsulated liquid. This specific mixture was developed by Admiral Robert FitzRoy and used on his voyage with Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle.

During the historic voyage, FitzRoy carefully documented how the storm glass would predict the weather:

  • 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.

Please note, while the Tear Drop Storm Glass looks beautiful it is not 100% reliable in delivering accurate weather forecasts.

Teardrop storm glass will either arrive with a red orblack base, colour is chosen at random.
