How do you use a glass barometer?

Glass Barometer Filling Instructions The spout connects to the body below the water level, which should fill the body halfway. The top of the spout is above the water level and open. When air pressure sinks lower than when the body was sealed with water, the water level in the spout rises above the level in the body.

How do you read a storm glass barometer?

1. If the liquid in the glass is clear, the weather will be bright and clear.

What pressure should I set my barometer?

To convert from hPa on the Met Office website to inches, you will have to divide by 33.86. So, for example, if the Met Office observation shows 1013 hPa, then you should set your barometer to 1013/33.86 = 29.92 inches, or as close as possible to this.
