Purchase options and add-ons

Interesting to look at for many reasons, this eye-catching object shows what the weather has in store.

In the 1800s, during his voyage with Charles Darwin, Admiral Robert Fitzroy used and later popularized the storm glass, which promised to predict the weather. A beautiful twist on this classic device, the Storm Cloud is a fun way of seeing what the weather has in store. Filled with a special liquid that responds to changes in the atmosphere, the crystals within the cloud-shaped glass indicate whether it'll be fair, cloudy, rainy, windy, or stormy. Whether sitting on a windowsill or a desk, the Storm Cloud is irresistible décor for the curious-minded.

ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: The Storm Cloud is as stylish and fun as it is informative. Place it on a shelf or table and marvel as it reveals each day’s forecast.
 
UNIQUE GIFT: This distinctive item makes a perfect gift for any daydreamer or nature lover.
 
RAVE REVIEWS: With hundreds of five-star ratings, reviewers love the Storm Cloud. One person calls it a “great conversation piece” and another says it’s “the best barometer EVER!”

Perfect for:
  • Design nerds, cloudspotters, and science buffs
  • Adding a touch of everyday wonder to any home or office space
  • Anyone interested in meteorology—children and adults alike!

    I really wanted to like this a lot and brought it for actual functionality. Hopefully. But I find that it doesn’t quite shift and change. I get pretty the same display summer or winter. I still like it for decorative purposes but wished it worked better. It is a little pricey for decoration only.

    It took about 2 weeks for it "calibrate" or whatever it's called, but now we're seeing crystals forming. It's definitely a conversation piece and it's fun trying to interpret the crystals. We like it

    1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I wanted this to work so bad because it is so cute. However, I followed all instructions and it does not work at all, not even a little. Some clusters will form at the bottom but it never changes no matter the weather. The directions also say it can take a few weeks for it to acclimate so by the time I was completely dissatisfied and tried to return I had missed the window. As much as I wanted this product to work or even change slightly with the weather, I should have listened to other reviews that it doesn't do what it says and save my money. Don't make the same mistake as me.

    A little charming piece that gets everyones attention. Not sure yet HOW accurate it is. But maybe it isn't acclimated to the place yet. Lots of crystals in the water. Just like it.

    This is such a cute little addition to our child’s room. However, after following instructions to clear the water using a hair dryer, the cloud still only shows the same “forecast” every day (crystals on bottom).

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very toxic
    Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Really neat idea, however I had to return it due to the extreme toxicity of the liquid that housed the crystals. The instruction detailed extensive first aid requirements should you come into contact with the liquid. Having both animals and small children who could potentially break the glass I could not in good conscience keep it in my home.
