British Made Barometer in Polished Mahogany Wood Vaneer –

All of our excellent barometers use fine German Aneroid mechanisms. Germany has led the way in the manufacture of accurate mechanisms for around a 100 years. They are mounted on a surround of wood with a polished mahogany veneer, and it the case of the 1612 model we have designed a double 8 sided plaque. Aneroid Barometer 13cm dial Luxurious Veneer of Polished Mahogany Quality Woodford (Established 1860) Barometer Monitor the British Weather with this Aneroid Barometer – perfect gift Height 19.5cm, Dial Diameter 13cm A barometer is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries. It is this knowledge which allows us to predict the changes in local weather by the use of a home aneroid barometer. It can be both satisfying and useful to predict the weather before it arrives. Why measure pressure? Pressure. Why is it so important? Because imbalances in air pressure cause wind and weather, so changes in the weather can be forecast by tracking the changing isobar pattern or by observing pressure change. Will it rain? Tap the (aneroid) barometer! It is OK to tap the outer glass of an aneroid barometer (firmly but lightly). By so doing you shift any recent pressure change stored in the mechanical linkage to the measuring needle. The resulting slight movement indicates whether the pressure is rising, steady, or falling. If the measuring needle goes to the left then there has been a drop in pressure recently. Full Instructions on setting up and using you barometer are included with all our aneroid barometers.
