bought this for my grandson who’s nine and obsessed with anything weather related. He’s put it on his bedroom windowsill and checks it every morning before school, telling us whether to take a brolly. Brilliant little thing, and he’s chuffed to bits.

Spot on. Watching the crystals in the liquid shift and grow as the pressure and temperature change is oddly hypnotic, and it looks smashing on my study shelf.
