Traditional

Traditional weather instruments come in many styles shapes and sizes, never mind what weather element they are measuring. Today they are more often thought of as decorative, as indeed they are, rather than scientific but in fact, all of these instruments serve a technical purpose. Usually this purpose is telling you the temperature, humidity or barometric pressure. Mostly they show you the current reading with perhaps maximum or minimum temperature since you last reset the indicators or change in barometric pressure since you set the indicator. Recording instruments such as barographs will show you a history of the last 7 days.

Whether you are buying for yourself or as a gift for someone else, choosing a traditional weather instrument is very subjective. Very often the first consideration is how it will look rather than what it does. You can choose instruments that are mounted together such as on a wooden plaque, disc, 'banjo', or individual instruments that are metal finished such as brass or chrome and mount them on a wall or bulkhead yourself. You can buy many of the individual instruments on their own, or as sets such as a barometer and a clock.  We also stock an excellent range of traditional wall clocks.

For many purchasers, the materials of manufacture and style of mounting are important as they will probably be determined by where the instrument is be located. Most of these instruments have similar workings although some maybe better engineered than others and therefore make them a little more accurate. Don't be fooled though because determining weather is not necessarily about absolute accuracy rather it is about trends and changes.
