The Nauticalia Storm Cloud is inspired by the classic storm bottles of the 18th century, giving you an approximate prediction of the weather. Great for the home, office or boat, when the liquid is clear the weather is fine but if crystals start forming you know the weather is about to turn.
During the Darwin Expeditions of 1831-36, aboard HMS Beagle, Captain Robert Fitzroy developed and refined the 18th century storm bottle. This involved much testing and observation of crystal formations, and resulted in him being able to make a number of weather predictions with a fair(ish) degree of accuracy.
Then, as now, no one is quite sure how the storm bottle works. Is it atmospheric pressure, temperature, electrical disturbances? Keep your own records and see if you can confirm or improve upon Fitzroy’s observations!
