Barometers

Air pressure changes before the weather decides to do the same. A barometer therefore likes to give you a small head start. We have an extensive collection of aneroid barometers from brands including Autonautic Instruments, Wempe, Schatz, Barigo, Fischer, Weems & Plath, and Plastimo. From classic round brass to sleek and modern. Beautiful on the wall, but especially interesting for those who prefer to look at the weather themselves rather than just at an app.

Barometers, weather forecasters in beautiful casings

Barometers: seeing the shift coming.

A barometer measures air pressure, and air pressure changes before the weather does. That is the whole reason the instrument is on board: it gives you a head start on what is coming. It is not the reading that counts, but the movement. This is the most common mistake. Whether the needle is at 1015 or 1020 says little in itself; it is about which way it is moving and how fast. That is why every barometer has a second hand that you set by hand: you place it at the current reading, and a few hours later you see the difference at a glance. A rapid drop means wind and worsening weather are on the way; a slow rise means it is clearing up and will remain calm. A sharp drop in a short time is the signal to revise your plans.

Setting it up upon purchase. A new barometer must be adjusted to your height above sea level. On board, this makes little difference, but on a wall in a house on a terp or higher area, it certainly does. You do this once with an adjustment screw on the back, after which it will be accurate for years. We explain how.

Aneroid barometers, which we supply, work with a vacuum metal box that expands and contracts. No mercury, no liquid, and therefore insensitive to movement. Exactly what you want on board. We carry them in brass, chrome-plated brass, and stainless steel, from Autonautic Instrumental, Wempe, Schatz, Barigo, Fischer, Weems & Plath, and Plastimo. Classic round in porthole style or more modern in shape, in sizes that fit a cabin bulkhead or a wall at home. As a set. A barometer next to a ship's clock is the classic combination, and many brands supply them on a joint wooden board. If you want to know more than just the air pressure, take a look at weatherstations, where temperature and humidity are added. A barometer is also one of the few instruments that lends itself as a gift: for a first boat, a move to the coast, or simply for yourself.

Frequently asked questions

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

Thus, a barometer can 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 show current weather conditions, but to provide insight into what weather changes are to be expected.

Observe the current air pressure and compare it with previous readings. Rapid changes indicate short-term weather changes, while
slow changes suggest long-term weather changes.

Hang the barometer in a location out of direct sunlight and not above a heat source. Ideal locations are a prominent spot in the house, on the boat or in a holiday home, where you can easily see it. On the boat, for example, in a set next to the ship's clock and other instruments, such as a thermometer or hygrometer. It is 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 aesthetically pleasing.

A barograph measures and records air pressure; a barometer measures air pressure. Unlike a barometer, which indicates current air pressure, a barograph records weather changes on paper, allowing you to always review and follow patterns.

To calibrate your barometer, check the local atmospheric pressure (for example, via a weather app). Then use the screw on the back of the barometer to manually set the pointer to the current atmospheric pressure. On most barometers, the screw is located on the back, except for porthole instruments or certain models that open from the front. For these models, you open the front or use the snap fastener to set the atmospheric pressure to the correct value. The pressure is often displayed in hPa (hectopascals) or mmHg (millimeters of mercury), which is equivalent to 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 to place the barometer in a safe spot to prevent damage. With this simple care, your barometer will remain a reliable and stylish instrument for years to come.
