	Barometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This concept of "decreasing pressure means bad weather" is the basis for a primitive weather prediction device called a weather glass or thunder glass.
		A standard mercury barometer has a glass column of about 30 inches (about 76 cm) in height, closed at one end, with an open mercury-filled reservoir at the base.

		The weather glass quickly became a working man's tool, very popular with fishermen and farmers from the 17th to 19th Centuries because it was relatively inexpensive and gave the owner an indication of coming weather.
		The glass should be mounted in a location out of the sun and where the surrounding temperature is stable, because it also acts as a thermometer as the water expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
		While the weather glass is not the most accurate means of measuring air pressure changes available to the non-professional today — nor always the least expensive — it certainly has an elegant simplicity that makes it a highly decorative piece.
