Two Special Art Clocks, in collaboration with Becca Hall

They do, indeed!

The clock has a barometric air pressure sensor at its core that continually measures the atmospheric air pressure throughout the day.

Even inside a relatively air-tight home the air pressure changes are sufficient for your clock to forecast from as you will see.

By monitoring the air pressure, the clock can tell whether it is rising or falling in relative terms over time – an important aspect of weather forecasting. (See the following section for further details.)

Very simply, if the clock notices the air pressure is rising then it will forecast sunnier weather. Conversely, if air pressure falls then the clock will forecast rain. The faster the rate of change, the more extreme the swing in either direction.

The clocks generally forecast short term for the day ahead, however, this does depend on a few things,as explained by Co-Founder, Sarah, in the video below.

A Barometer is an instrument that measures atmospheric pressure and, accordingly, helps forecast the weather. They've been around for quite some time....

The story starts in the 16th Century when Italian clever-man Evangelista Torricelli is thought to have been the first person to recognise that the world’s atmosphere was not weightless but applied a force, now known as atmospheric pressure.

Only in the 18th Century was the link between atmospheric pressure and changing weather conditions noted. Water-filled “storm glass” barometers did what their name suggests and predicted impending storms.

The 19th century saw the development of the aneroid barometer which became widely used for meteorology and a popular accessory in the home. These aneroid barometers were produced in all manner of ornate designs in response to the insatiable British appetite for a topic of conversation, the use of umbrellas and organising picnics.

With the advent of improved satellite weather forecasting, barometers became more regarded as an instrument for an older generation with their natural interactions overshadowed in an ever digitalised world. Your new Weather Clock is a reaction against this and a celebration of the intricate mechanics of bygone eras brought up to date for the contemporary home.
