Frequently Asked Questions

A barometer measures atmospheric pressure . Rising air pressure usually indicates better weather, while falling air pressure often portends bad weather. It's an essential tool for any seafarer or outdoor enthusiast who wants to be prepared for changing weather conditions.

A barometer can be used to predict weather changes by measuring fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. This pressure, also known as the weight of the air around us, provides valuable insights into upcoming weather conditions.

A barometer typically predicts weather changes 12 to 24 hours in advance. The instrument is not intended to display current weather conditions, but rather to provide insight into expected weather changes.

Check the current air pressure and compare it with previous readings. Rapid changes indicate short-term weather changes, while
Slow changes indicate long-term changes in the weather.

Hang the barometer out of direct sunlight and not above a heat source. Ideal locations are a prominent spot in your home, on your boat, or in a vacation home, where it's easily visible. On the boat, for example, in a display unit next to the ship's clock and other instruments, such as a thermometer or hygrometer. It's often recommended to place the barometer at eye level, both in the cabin and depending on your boat type, as this is both functional and visually appealing.

A barograph measures and records air pressure; a barometer measures air pressure. Unlike a barometer, which displays air pressure in real time, a barograph records weather changes on paper, allowing you to always see and track patterns.

To adjust your barometer, check the local air pressure (for example, using a weather app). Then use the screw on the back of the barometer to manually set the needle to the current air pressure. On most barometers, the screw is located on the back, except for porthole instruments or certain models that open at the front. On these models, you twist the front or use the snap-on closure to set the air pressure to the correct value. The pressure is often displayed in hPa (hectopascals) or mmHg (millimeters of mercury), which stands for millibars.

An aneroid or double aneroid barometer requires minimal maintenance, and these are the types of mechanisms we offer at Studio Maritime. The most important thing is to keep the glass clean and store the barometer in a safe place to prevent damage. With this simple care, your barometer will remain a reliable and stylish instrument for years to come.
