Invented by Robert Fitzroy, Fitzroy’s storm glass was used on Charles Darwin’s on the HMAS Beagle to predict the weather. Obviously, this storm glass is not going to be anywhere near as accurate as a modern Bluetooth digital remote weather station, however if you are interested enough in the weather to have a digital weather station then no doubt you will be fascinated by this low tech forebearer.
