The captain of the British ship "The Beagle" in 1750, Admiral Fitzroy, had the idea of mixing distilled water, ethanol, potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride, and camphor in a glass bottle to predict the weather during his sea voyages. By regularly observing the shape and distribution of the crystals forming in the bottle as well as the weather, he discovered the mechanism he had just created. He recorded his results in his famous work "Weather Book" on weather observation and forecasting. However, it was in 1859, after a powerful storm, that the British Crown spread the use of this instrument to all ports and ships of the Empire.

Fun fact: the Storm glass is mentioned in the works of Jules Verne and Victor Hugo.

• More reliable than your weather app and simpler than observing the clouds and stars, the mushroom storm glass is (incredibly) easy to use.
• Place the mushroom storm glass in a cool spot, near a window but away from direct sunlight, heating, or air conditioning.
  Observe whether or not crystals form.

Clear liquid: fair weather
Cloudy liquid: rainy (or even stormy) weather
Flaky crystals: snowy weather
Crystal threads: windy weather
The more the liquid clouds up and forms crystals, the more the weather deteriorates.
The higher the crystals, the colder it is.

• NB: It will take 1 to 2 weeks after receipt for the mushroom storm glass to be fully operational. Be careful not to touch or move it, as this will skew its predictions!
