This cloud weather station uses a traditional glass storm globe to forecast changing conditions, based on the centuries-old method sailors once relied on before modern forecasting existed.
Made by Maverick, the cloud-shaped glass sits on a beechwood base and contains a camphor, alcohol and water solution that reacts to shifts in temperature, forming crystals that change in size and shape as conditions move throughout the day. Measuring 17.8 x 7.8 x 19.3cm in clear glass, it makes a talking-point addition to a desk, shelf or study, and needs no batteries or power to work, so it can simply be left in place to be checked and admired whenever conditions start to change. The beechwood base sits neatly alongside other desk accessories, and the compact footprint means it never crowds a shelf or windowsill even in smaller rooms.
