Kudos to the guy who walked into the eye of a hurricane holding one of these to confirm that the pressure was indeed low.
Agreed!
May God be with our guy!
Brilliant, thanks for that my dad has had one of these on the wall for years, and always used it as he worked outside. I am the new custodian of our barometer and thanks to you I can now read it correctly cheers., Greetings from London
Glad I could help
It works differently every where.
My Barometer always below 29 in summer season, but there is no rain, actually it is heat that developing and affect the reading.
What a wonderful message, testimony and a gift after your Dad!💕
I've relied on my joints for a few decades to predict local weather and changes likely to influence it.
Severe inflammation indicates bad weather heading in, even in high summer, as it usually means thunderstorms present or building, during that season, but is more likely to flare during the expected bad weather of Winter.
Manageable pain without the need of heavy painkilling medication often accompanies dry, warm weather.
Arthritis...nature's way of taking you back to the classroom. 😂
I thoroughly enjoyed your scientific breakdown and thank you for uploading!
Thank you so much for a wonderful insight into Barometers, how they work and how we can best interpret the readings. In particular the explanation of falling (low) and rising (high) pressure, and the reasons behind it was really informative and useful, I really enjoyed watching your video and am now top-fit in estimating what they are telling me. I guess recently I've become a bit of a Barometer fan and have already started collecting them, interesting ones. Latest item to the (still small) collection was a Sputnik Weather Station from the 60s/70s. Thanks again and keep them coming. I subscribe :-) - Bad-Cannstatt, Germany.
Thanks for the nice comment. Ill continue to add more barometer content
Thanks for the info. I just picked up a German banjo style and your video helped me set and understand it. Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much! I just inherited one from my dad - similar to what was on your wall - and this was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
U saved my life. I am writing a geo test tomorrow 💯💯
What a nice explanation! Very calm and clear ;)
Thank you! 😃
I found an Airguide barometer at a thrift yesterday and got it because it reminded me of my grandpa but also because I like what it does. Thank you for this video. I tapped it and the needle moved.
Great to hear it works!
I got one from my grandpa an air guide old one looks like it was on a ship 🚢
Thank You for all the information....👍
Excellent helpful video! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for explaining the barometer ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks so much Park. This is super helpful
Happy to help!
Pretty cool store . Actually worked across the street at DWI .
Love the DWI!
beautifully explained thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you. I have my Grandpa's home barometer
Beautiful explained thank you
Glad it helped
I LOVE Barometers, because as you say; no need to wind them, plug them in or use batteries - you hang them on the wall, and they’re there operating all of the time! It’s always good to tap them as you say; I’ve always done that as I pass it, and you can be quite astonished sometimes how much they can move which tells you quite clearly which way the weather is going! It’s important to note though for those new to them, to only tap them very lightly, as after all, these are precision instruments, and they won’t always respond which doesn’t mean they’re not working, as there may be nothing to respond to some of the time. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching
Thank you for a very good explanation of how barometers work. As i am growing more and more into the digital world, i get more and more interested in the analog tools from the past. Modern science and weatherforcasting is really phennomenal, but still - an oldfashioned barometer is far more fascinating. And the «unprecise» slowly gained knowledge every man used to have to predict the weather…i miss those days :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you .
Brilliant informative vid. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks so much for this video very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. I want one now. I think I may actually be able to work it.
Thank you for a very good video. You made it very easy to understand 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Great video
Glad you liked it!
Que buena colección de estaciones meteorológicas que tiene ud, todo de muy buena calidad, lo felicito x el vídeo. Yo también colecciono instrumentos, de meteorología, geofísica etc. Saludos desde Argentina.
Thanks!
Thank you for clear and simple explanations. I just understand that, even it is rainy outside but don't show it, doesn't mean the preasure is low or the gidget is not working🤔
Thanks for the video I had one given to me now I know how it works Darren from Australia
Glad to hear the video helped you
Thanks mate. Great explanantion
Glad it helped
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
Very nice video. Thank you
Thank you too
very nice explanation,
helped in my exams
Glad it helped
It is also called as an altimeter, we can also measure the altitude of a place by locating the rise and fall of the pressure in the barometer. While you climb higher altitudes, the pressure in the barometer drops, while you descend, the pressure increase. In this way, you can also calculate the altitudes. Therefore, the instrument is also known as an ALTIMETER.
Thanks for the contribution. The one I featured in the video does not have an altitude on the dial so its just a barometer and meant to be stationary on a wall. It uses the same mechanism as an altimeter though. Portable altimeter / barometers are usually smaller and they have the altitude scale around the outer dial.
Thank you ⚓️
You’re welcome 😊
lovely big barometer there
Thanks, it’s big dial is great for demonstrations.
That's a good thing to have.
Thank you for the nice video. I have few questions please. I live in Amman, Jordan. I own an aneroid (inhg) west german made barometer without any brand name on it just MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY below on the dial, that used to belong to my late father, it was presented to him on his wedding day in 1960, and it's still working till now. To set my barometer, I followed the ACCU weather site, and set it to the mentioned pressure. The question is that I don't live on sea level, my location is 920 meters above sea level, if i want to make a correct setting, it should be set at 26.5 inhg, because at sea level the reading will be around 29.9, so if you go up to 920 meters, it should fall to 26.5, while there is no 26.5 on it, it starts from 28 in hg up to 31in hg , so is it correct to set it like the weather station says today for example it says 30.1 ???? I can't understand this. 30.1 at which altitude ?? , Another research i made, i put the barometer picture on google to find out the manufacturer, google results showed the same barometer under HOFFRITZ N.Y., GERMANY brandname, should i consider my barometer is HOFFRITZ being exactly the same model ? and why my unit has no HOFFRITZ brandname on it ?
Thank you, peterketchijian@gmail.com
What could you use in combination with a barometer to help you predict whether for like that day or maybe the next... I have a ABC watch I use for hiking, that would be awesome to have something that's not connected to the internet help me determine when rain is coming or bad weather in general... I'm assuming that you just kind of make a best guess and look at the sky😂
👍
Hi i got this new wembe barometer.... itvlooks similsr as the one you demonstrsted with.... but really its been raining all day and still its far to the right???? Van there be something wronh with it?.... and also when I open it there is a tiny button on the backside... what is this for?
What are some reasons it wouldn’t be working? Loss of that vacuum? Or rusty insides or something? We have an old one unsure if it’s working going to have a look
Thank you for your explanation. I have just a small question: should I tap the barometer everytime I want to check the pressure? I'm asking this because, as you mentioned, sometimes the pointer doesn't seem to be moving. Currently, it's been some days since the last change in my barometer. Kind regards.
I like to tap it. The tapping creates a small shock to the system which will displace any stickiness to the works.
I like the barometer which you demonstrated in this video. I don't see it on your website though. Is this model still in production or is it an antique? All I can make out from the video is made in France, who is the manufacturer? Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. Sorry its not available as I sold it a bit ago. It didnt have a makers name but was similar to other barometers made in France by Naudet.
What ar small dials for
Good video .
What is the outer scale of the Barometer
Please
Some barometers display both Inches and metric units
are barigo barometers good quality?
I have an old springfield weather station. Is it possible that the humidity gage would need recalibrated/ reset?
It might be possible to adjust it. Look for an adjustment screw on the back of the hygrometer
Good vidio. Can you tell me why I have 3 pointers on my barometer-red black silver..?
One is the actual barometer reading, the 2 others might be for high and low marking
Can you recommend a source for finding working antique barometers pls? I saw a model that sat flat on a table & had a blown glass globe top. It was $ 140.00 at the antique shop we were in & when I went back for it it was gone. Does such a barometer have a name to refer to it?. Thx.
Called a sputnik barometer - possibly
Hi James, I sell many antique barometers on my websites: www.theweatherstore.com and www.paulmaddenantiques.com
We service all barometers to ensure a proper working instrument before posting for sale.
Contact me anytime to discuss. Best, Parke Madden
Hi, I was wondering why the one I have has “Linden” on the middle dial. I see some have “Devon” or “Gemini”. I even saw one say “Whitehall”, is this where they were made or something? I have a banjo style barometer.
Thanks for sharing. it is probably the maker's name and sometimes is also displays the town where they were made.
Maybe someone on this site knows how to take an old barometer apart to re attach the main needle…it’s a swift and Anderson, Boston. The back has a center black portion and an outside ring trim. And a center screw(maybe for calibration?)
If you can remove the front glass and bezel, you should be able to re affix it.
if the boro psi is 30.06 . on the gauge is that before the number one or is it at the number six on the one through nine in-between 30 and 31
The one before the number one
I bought one and it moves very little and I’m wondering if it is broken. It moves when I tap it, but over the month it hasn’t moved much at all.
View my video “How to check if a barometer is working”. If it needs repair, contact me.
I just got a barometer delivered from amazon. the internet weather report says pressure is 30.18 my meter says 29.6. yes I've tapped. could you explain? I've had it for a couple of hours, hanging on the wall now. thanks!
probably needs a calibration. Easy to do, just look for the hole in the back as demonstrated in the video
Some people have inner barometer in their bones... have boneache before weather changes...😊
I just found a Springfield Instruments Barometer 07602. I can't find almost anything on it
Unfortunately there is very little in the way of reference websites where you can plug in a serial number and learn more.
How often should i tap a aneroid barometer?
as much as you like or whenever you want to read the pressure
Do you do international deliveries
Yes, I can ship most items internationally. Contact me for more information
Curious how you got the name Park. My brother is also named Park. He was named after a governor of Florida...Park Trammel.
Family name from England. It is spelled Parke.
@@TheWeatherStore Cool! Thx!
Where does the air go in
Barometers are not air sealed. It equalizes through any gap or hole in the instrument
What if it doesn't move at all when you tap it
I have a video on how to tell if you barometer is working or not.
Didnt know les straud had a brother
🕰🕰🕰🕰🕰witch hand is the main, or witch hands mean what??
The main hand is the one connected to the mechanism. It is most often black. The index hand is the one which you can turn using the knob.
I won't change
we all change!
Are any barometer today aneroid?
Yes, most non digital ones are.
1000000000x model of aneroid barometer is produsing GWh of power per year

I want a barometer since 1994☘😭😔😭
check out my selection at www.theweatherstore.com
@@TheWeatherStore I need a cheap one please
Won’t Work In Space😮😮
in space no one can hear you forecast...😊
TRUST YOU TO SHOW ONE THAT DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT WE HAVE . WITH THE NUMBERS 1000 AT THE TOP . I DONT HAVE NUMBERS MARKED LIKE THAT
It's probably a metric scale. The barometers I use and sell are mostly using the imperial measurement system i.e. inches of mercury
What are some reasons it wouldn’t be working? Loss of that vacuum? Or rusty insides or something? We have an old one unsure if it’s working going to have a look
It could any number of things. I'd have to see it firsthand to know for sure.
