Accordingly, how does a storm glass work?

A storm glass is a sealed device made of clear glass that contains chemicals that are said to crystalize to in such a way to predict weather a couple days in advance. One to three days later, the observed weather should mimic the prediction from a couple days back. The actual inventor of the storm glass is unknown.

Subsequently, question is, what are the crystals in a storm glass? A storm glass, also called a weather glass or camphor glass, is a glass tube containing a mixture of ammonium chloride, potassium nitrate, camphor, water, and alcohol, making a normally clear liquid in which different types of white crystals periodically grow and dissolve.

In respect to this, what does my storm glass mean?

If the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be cloudy as well, perhaps with precipitation. If there are small dots in the liquid, humid or foggy weather can be expected. A cloudy glass with small stars indicates thunderstorms. If the liquid contains small stars on sunny winter days, then snow is coming.

Is the liquid in a storm glass dangerous?

Most of the chemicals used to produce the liquid inside of a storm glass are potentially hazardous. Inhalation of these chemicals could make you sick, and you should take care when handling any of the chemicals and prevent exposure to bare skin.
